data into a traditional desktop logging program. The data Spothole produces is compatible with DXSpider, and
therefore many loggers should accept it with no problems.</p>
<p>This is a relatively new feature however, so if you run into problems, please do let me know.</p>
<p>The one caveat with the Spothole telnet server is that <em>it does not support any commands</em>, other than <code>exit</code>.

You cannot therefore issue commands to retrieve past entries, set up filters, etc. If you need to filter the data,
many desktop logging programs support this client-side, so hopefully this is not too big of an obstacle.

<h3><i class="fa-solid fa-comment"></i> Add Spot</h3>
<p>The Add Spot page allows you to add a new spot into the Spothole system directly. Currently, this stays within
Spothole and is not sent "upstream" to DX clusters, POTA, SOTA etc. regardless of any activity you select.</p>
<p>The Add Spot page allows you to add a new spot into the Spothole system directly. If the server allows it, a "Send
spot to..." checkbox will also appear, allowing you to send your spot "upstream" to the DX cluster that Spothole
receives spots from. Spothole will log in to the cluster using the callsign you entered in "Your Call", so if you
are already connected to the same cluster node with that callsign, you may need to use a different SSID. Sending
spots upstream to POTA, SOTA etc. is not yet supported.</p>
