Dennis,
Is it possible to include POTA.APP spots into LOGic??

There is a API:
https://api.pota.app/spot/activator

I currently use it in Node-Red but it doesn't pull in all the spots from POTA.APP for some reason. It could be the FLOW itself, I am mot sure. This would be a nice addition to LOGic especially with the growing popularity of POTA.

Just a thought. Hope all is well.

Hi Kyle:

Going OK. Hope to be in VA before summer is over, and look forward to stopping by.

So you are saying make this another spot source? I have worked with REST APIs before. Not too hard.

Notes to self and anyone else interested:
Paste the contents into here and it makes a lot more sense.
https://jsonformatter.org/

REFERENCE is the park identifier.

https://pota.app/#/

Tnx for the heads-up on this & 73,

Yes, Quite a few spots that are shown on POTA.APP do not appear on the DX Cluster.

Thanks!!

This has been added to 10.0.119. Also POTA spotting. Be sure to enable the POTA record and turn on spotting in tools/Settings/Log fields....

Thanks for the suggestion!

AWESOME!!!

After enabling POTA I noticed that no USA/VE stations were being spotted. So I restarted LOGic and it's now working GREAT.

THANK YOU!!!

Dennis, look at these and see what you think.


  • Add a Separate POTA Spot Log


  • Enable the Spot Log Form so it can be moved to another monitor


  • Add a "Turn On or Reset Radio Interface" button to the Rig Control Window


  • Band Map does not log POTA award value when clicking "Log"


  • Enable change Font Size in Band Map



Hope all is well.

Thanks for the suggestions Kyle.

Quote:

You can filter the spot log to show only POTA. If I do anything, I will allow opening multiple spot log forms. Won't be easy....

Quote:

Can already do that. You need to right-click on the backdrop of the form itself, not the pages. Not a lot of that type of real estate on the spot log. Try between the REDO and BAND buttons.

Quote:
Add a "Turn On or Reset Radio Interface" button to the Rig Control Window
It would be a good bit of work, plus not sure if I want to take up room on every rig control panel. Maybe right-click something? I'll look into it, but in all honesty, don't hold your breath.

Quote:

A bug. Will fix. Thanks.

Quote:

Unfortunately, that would be very difficult. Most of the LOGic's Forms are done in Visual Foxpro, and we have librarys to support that. It is a trivial matter to add that feature to a form in Visual Foxpro. The band map is done entirely in .net. On the + side, the band map should set itself to match options chosen for your desktop, including font size.

Tnx & 73,

BigGrin multiple spot log forms would be great, thanks!

Thanks, I wasn't right clicking on the backdrop.

No problem
