Welcome to Spothole's help pages.
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. (If that sounds like nonsense to you, start with the FAQ!)
{% if server_owner_callsign == "M0TRT" %}You're using the "main" Spothole server at spothole.app, which is run by the software's main developer, Ian Renton, M0TRT. You can contact Ian directly for any queries about it.
{% else %}Spothole is open-source software that anyone can run. The particular server you are using right now is run by an amateur radio operator with callsign {{ server_owner_callsign }}, and not by the oritinal developer of the software. This means that if you have any problems or questions about this server, you should in the first instance contact them before contacting the Spothole developers. See Privacy and Legal Information for details.
