<p>In amateur radio terminology, the "DX" contact is the "interesting" one that is using the frequency shown. They might be on a remote island or just in a local park, but either way it's interesting enough that someone has "spotted" them. The callsign listed under "DE" is the person who spotted the "DX" operator. "Modes" are the type of communication they are using. You might see "CW" which is Morse Code, or voice "modes" like SSB or FM, or more exotic "data" modes which are used for computer-to-computer communication.</p>
<h4 class="mt-4">What data sources are supported?</h4>
<p>Spothole can retrieve spots from: Telnet-based DX clusters, the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN), the APRS Internet Service (APRS-IS), POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA, WWBOTA, HEMA, Parks 'n' Peaks, ZLOTA, WOTA, and the UK Packet Repeater Network.</p>
<p>Spothole can retrieve alerts from: NG3K, POTA, SOTA, WWFF, Parks 'n' Peaks, and WOTA.</p>
<p>Between the various data sources, the following Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are supported: POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA, WWBOTA, HEMA, IOTA, MOTS, ARLHS, ILLW, SIOTA, WCA, ZLOTA, KRMNPA, WOTA, WAB & WAI.</p>
<p>Spothole can retrieve alerts from: NG3K, POTA, SOTA, WWFF, Parks 'n' Peaks, WOTA and BOTA.</p>
<p>Note that the server owner has not necessarily enabled all these data sources. In particular it is common to disable RBN, to avoid the server being swamped with FT8 traffic, and to disable APRS-IS and UK Packet Net so that the server only displays stations where there is likely to be an operator physically present for a QSO.</p>

<h4 class="mt-4">How is this better than DXheat, DXsummit, POTA's own website, etc?</h4>
<p>It's probably not? But it's nice to have choice.</p>
<p>I think it's got two key advantages over those sites:</p>
