 Then edit `config.yml` in your text editor of choice to set up the software as you like it. Mostly, this will involve enabling or disabling the various providers of spot and alert data.
 
+By default, all outdoor programme providers are enabled, as is one cluster node and the NG3K DXpedition data. The RBN spot providers are turned off by default due to the volume of traffic from CW/RTTY/FT8 skimmers, and the APRS and Packet spot providers are off by default on the assumption that Spothole users want a spot with a human at the other end of it, but all can be easily re-enabled.

 `config.yml` has some entries for QRZ.com username & password, and Clublog API keys. If provided, these allow Spothole to retrieve more information about DX spots, such as the country their callsign corresponds to. The software will work just fine without them, but you may find a few country flags etc. are less accurate or missing.
 
 Clublog API keys are free, but you'll need to get your own by submitting a helpdesk ticket and explaining what you'll use it for. The admin team are happy with the rate of requests made by my Spothole server, so unless you change the source code of yours to radically increase the rate of querying Clublog, I'm sure they will be fine with your server too.
