 Spothole is a utility to aggregate "spots" from amateur radio DX clusters and xOTA spotting sites, and provide an open
 JSON API as well as a website to browse the data, and its own telnet server for integration with desktop loggers.
 
+A "main" or example server runs at [https://spothole.app](https://spothole.app/) in case you'd like to try it out.

-Particular thanks go to country-files.com for providing country lookup data for amateur radio, to K0SWE
-for [this JSON-formatted DXCC data](https://github.com/k0swe/dxcc-json/), and to the developers of `pyhamtools` for

     ## Changelog
+
+    ### 2.2
     
+    * Renamed AMSAT SIG to "Satellite" as AMSAT is a specific organisation not just a general term for satellite QSOs
+    * Removed `alert_type` from alert data. Contest, DXpedition and Satellite alerts now give those values in `sig` instead, alongside the existing outdoor activity programmes. Teeeeechnically a breaking change but AlertType is so new I doubt anyone is using it yet, so slipped this one in anyway. Sorry :)
+    * Added QRP, RaDAR Rally, /AM and /MM activities
+    * Added `has_refs` and `alerts_possible` to Activity data
+
     ### 2.1
     
     * Added AMSAT, EME, DTMBA, FEA, BIWOTA, COTA & PGA SIGs
