+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>filtering...</B> Filtering things in DXSpider</CODE></P>
+
+<P>There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. They
+all use the same general mechanism.</P>
+<P>In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which
+can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ accept/spots .....
+ reject/spots .....
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There
+are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops)
+connects. See each different accept or reject command reference for
+more details.</P>
+<P>There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter and
+one to show you what you have set. They are:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ clear/spots 1
+ clear/spots all
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>and </P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ show/filter
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.</P>
+<P>For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply
+the principles to all types of filter.</P>
+<P>There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you use
+depends entirely on how you look at the world and what is least
+writing to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of any
+length) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the action
+you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept
+means gimme it).</P>
+<P>The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject'
+filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then if
+a spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will get
+it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't
+match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

+ accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)

+<P>then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14
+15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ reject/spots on hf/cw
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTA
+and will work it even on CW then you could say:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until
+you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them
+(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) but
+don't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you get
+without ringing up the sysop for help.</P>
+<P>Another useful addition now is filtering by US state</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your
+own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
+ reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't
+read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also
+rejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone
+in Europe.</P>
+<P>This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in
+this case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits
+'0'-'9' are available.</P>
+<P>You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can
+use any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want
+it. There are things called precedence rules working here which mean
+that you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because,
+without it, will assume:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use
+brackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is
+just 'and by_zone'.</P>
+<P>If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more
+lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>or </P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ clear/spots all
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-</P>

+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>ADVANCED USERS:-</P>
+<P>Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment. </P>
+<P>my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU
+can be written with a mixed filter, eg:</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ rej/spot on hf/cw
+ acc/spot on 0/30000
+ acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept'
+slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.</P>
+<P>It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match,
+the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for
+'accept'. In the example what happens is that the reject is executed
+first, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which lets
+thru everything else on HF.</P>
+<P>The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.</P>

+<P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
+a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
+power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)</P>
+<P>The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
+levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
+specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
+paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
+for paths shorter or longer than this.</P>
+<P>The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
+used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
+hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
+receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
+with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
+than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
+such as the Voice of America.</P>
+<P>The command will display some header information detailing its
+assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
+bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
+(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
+(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
+the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.</P>
+<P>The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
+6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
+1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
+there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
+to be noisy. </P>
+<P>By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
+can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of
