KST

ON4KST chat window

New in Tucnak3. Connection to ON4KST chat does not use telnet, it connects directly to server which allows better integration with Tucnak. Enter your account information in Contest defaults. Then press Enter. Tucnak will enter username and password. If you have opened contest and all read-write bands belongs to one type of KST chat, tucnak enters also chat number. At end of chat with server Tucnak sets your personal name by command /set name.

After disconnect, you can press Enter again. To manually disconnect, use Kill connection in menu Subwins or press Ctrl+V then C followed by Enter.

Keys Ctrl+K show dialog:

KST callsign

After OK it writes command /CQ CALL into input line.

Keys Alt+K search for previous /CQ command and fill it into input line. Works again like Alt+P with filter.

Right button click is showing context menu. If you click on callsign, it uses callsign under cursor. Otherwise spot sender is used.

KST context menu
  • Ask for sked - Format message in the form: "GM Claudio, PSE sked .120 on 3cm OK?". You must have callsign name in Name database, and set QRG for sked.
  • Select - Select callsign - it means it is important for you, spot is colored yellow. Worked calls are displayed in dark yellow
  • Hide - Hide callsign - spots are displayed dark grey. Use for example for not QRV calls
  • Message - Same as Ctrl+K
  • Info - Show Call info about callsign
  • Use - Enter call in main band inputline

Left button is same as Select command above.

Long lines are split to fit in the window.

Output of /sh us command is parsed and output is added into C_W and Name database. Yout must enter command manualy. Files are saved together with other contest files (F2, new QSO enterer or QSO arrived from network).

Note: Tucnak prevents to enter 2-7 numbers to avoid to send contest code to KST. If you have only numeric password, store it in Contest defaults.

Shell

Shell windows

You can run here any text-mode command. Good for telnet connection to ON4KST chat, DX cluster or WW-convers. All DX cluster spots are recognized and displayed in DXC window.

Since 3.0 please use specialized windows for ON4KST chat and DX Cluster.

Highlighting

Tucnak highlights with red color station callsign, operator callsign. Also suffixes when are two or more characters long. You can click on line to enable/disable yellow highlight of all lines containing these calls. Format of lines must be known for tucnak, at this time it recognize DX cluster, ON4KST chat and WW-convers. Worked stations are turned to dark yellow.

QSOs

QSOs window

Use cursor keys to move cursor. Press ENTER to edit QSO. Press A to see QSOs from all bands.

HF

HF window

This window contains all information needed for HF contest like missing multipliers, rate, band and total score, DXCC info, sunrise/sunset, distance, azimut, calls from master.scp and band map.

For more detailed info look at HF contest setup page.

QRV list

QRV list

Feature for microwaves. Show unworked calls from qrv file. You can sort list by any column to see calls which will give you maximal benefit. WKD column means number of QSOs on current band in latest contests. AcKST show time of last activity of station on ON4KST chat. Text is prefilled by source of information but you can enter anything you want.

You must manually prepare list of stations QRV in this contest. Based on last contests or on other source you have. In 2.27-2.34 is support only for qrv list loading. Save support is since 2.35. Recommended way to add your items before contest is:

  1. Create new contest
  2. Close contest
  3. Create or modify file named qrv in contest directory
  4. Open contest

During contest if you highlight call in Shell window, it is added in this window. When you work the station, item disappears. It is possible to delete item if you are sure it not QRV (you see message on chat that rig is broken etc.).

Enter in this window will clear collected qso data and send callsing here as typed by keyboard. Mouse is not used.

Log

Log window

In this window are various program messages - informations, warnings, errors, talk messages, sked informations, direct ON4KST messages and httpd log. Latests lines are showed on last lines of screen (number can be set in Misc options and saved in log file.

Graphics map

Graphics polar map

This polar map shows state boundaries, worked QSOs, antenna directions and many more. Use cursor arrows or drag mouse to move map. Zoom is done using +, - keys or mouse wheel.

It also shows Rain Scatter map.

Scope

Scope window

This window has more view modes, you can switch between they by Space key. On the top image there is "scope" mode.

In older versions there was also FFT waterfall but now I have problems with the FFTW library so it is disabled until I solve this issue.

Scope window with FFT waterfall

Tucnak shows spectrum and waterfall of recorded/played signal. It uses non-linear filtering described by VE3NEA. Space turns scope and FFT modes.
