CQCLOUD.DE

CQCloud is operated like a tiny terminal: you type commands, CQCloud switches feeds, applies filters, and refreshes the map/table. Think of it as DX Cluster meets sci-fi shell.

Available commands

• help — show the command list
• status — show current feed and state
• refresh — reload data immediately
• cluster — classic DX feed (all DX spots)
• pota [minutes] [band=..] [mode=..] — POTA list mode
• sota [minutes] — SOTA list mode
• iota [minutes] — IOTA mode (keeps the map)
• radar [EU|NA|SA|AF|AS|OC|AN] — sets radar "spotter continent" filter

Examples

TAB completion

Press TAB in the command input:

• If there is exactly one match, CQCloud auto-completes it.
• If there are multiple matches, CQCloud prints a short "Matches:" list in the terminal.
• Suggestions depend on the first word (e.g. cluster vs pota).

Supported modes

All modes can be passed via mode= or directly as an argument:

• cw — Morse code
• ssb — Single sideband (LSB/USB)
• ft8 — FT8 (WSJT-X)
• ft4 — FT4 (WSJT-X)
• ft2 — FT2
• rtty, psk, digi — other digital modes

TAB after cluster mode=f shows ft8, ft4 and ft2 as suggestions.

Radar

The "Radar" is a tiny propagation activity matrix, built from the last 30 minutes of spots. In your current build it is:

• Always CW feed (global, independent of UI band checkboxes)
• Always 30-minute window (fixed)
• Filterable by spotter continent: radar EU, radar NA, …
• Shows only bands with activity (so it stays readable)

Dot brightness indicates how many spots were observed for a given band/continent bucket.
