CTDXCC Specific - AR-Cluster Commands

The following commands were created specific for the Central Texas DX and Contest Club. You might also want to reference the full AR-Cluster User Manual. Other details on AR-Cluster can be found on the web site at http://www.ab5k.net/

Austin Cluster Configuration

The SHOW/CONFIGURATION command has a short version, which will only show the nodes and users connected to the Austin nodes.

Examples:

sh/c aus
sh/c ctdxcc

Regional Announcements

Regional announcements can be targeted to the Austin Nodes and Users as well as extended to wider areas in the state. This feature is controlled by the sysop. Contact your sysop to be added to a regional list.

Example:

a/aus Good morning
a/stx Hello South Texas
a/tx Hello Texas

Macro Definitions

AR-Cluster version 3.0.12 contains the capability of macro definitions. Macros are sysop-defined shortcuts that apply to the AR-Cluster command engine. The 0 thru 9 keys are defined as macro keys. If the first character of a user command is a 0 - 9, the character is replaced with its macro definition. As soon as the sysops agree on a macro standard for the Austin clusters, we publish the macro definitions. If you have a favorite command and are getting tired of all of the typing, let us know your recommendations. Stay tuned for more details.

Example:

1 = a/aus
2 = ?
3 = ?
4 = ?
5 = ?
6 = ?
7 = ?
8 = ?
9 = ?
0 = ?
