Skimmer spots

I've looked through the manual for a solution to this but have not had any luck.

I am using WintelnetX to accumulate spots from to instances of CWS and one instance of VE7CC. All the spots show up on the cluster connection tab with -# for those generated by skimmer or the RBN. These spots do not make it to the actual cluster display.

The scripts for WintelnetX have an option to strip those characters but they still show up.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Tnx and 73

Version 1.20 when released has reverse beacon network and CWSkimmer support as below.

In the screen shot below I am using WintelnetX to combine (Aggregate) VE7CC and GB7MBC telnet clusters with spots received on my CWSkimmer and the spots received from the Reverse Beacon network - The data from these four sources is combined in WintelnetX and forwarded to Log4OM

All of the spots shown in the Log4om Cluster F9 window that have entries like "20db 23 WPM CQ" in the Note column either came from the RBN or my CWSkimmer.

WintelnetX currently works with Log4om 1.19 if you are only combining normal DX Telnet Clusters, it does not display RBN or Skimmer spots in the Cluster F9 window

Hi
they are now passed to the dxspot windows (f2) and you can see it
in the note you will see the same info that cwskimmer provides

before the release 1.20 skimmer spots were not passed
