Quick Start

Watch Live Spots

# Get latest DX spots
python3 dx-monitor.py watch

# Specific cluster node
python3 dx-monitor.py watch --cluster ea7jxh

# Use your callsign
python3 dx-monitor.py watch --callsign KN4XYZ

# Only show NEW spots (filters duplicates)
python3 dx-monitor.py watch --new-only

Output:

Automated Monitoring

Real-Time Alerts (Check Every 5 Minutes)

# Add to crontab
*/5 * * * * cd ~/clawd && python3 skills/ham-radio-dx/dx-monitor.py watch --new-only --callsign YOUR_CALL >> /tmp/dx-alerts.log

This checks for new DX spots every 5 minutes and logs them.

Daily Digest (9am Every Day)

# Add to crontab
0 9 * * * cd ~/clawd && python3 skills/ham-radio-dx/dx-monitor.py digest >> ~/dx-digest-$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d).txt

Telegram Notifications

Integrate with Clawdbot message tool:

# When rare DX appears, send Telegram alert
python3 dx-monitor.py watch --new-only | grep -E "(VP8|ZL|VK|ZS|P5)" && \
  echo "🚨 Rare DX spotted!" | # Send via Clawdbot message tool

Example Prompts for Clawdbot

"Check the DX cluster for new spots"
"What's active on 20 meters?"
"Show me today's DX digest"
"Any rare DX on the air?"
"Monitor for VP8 or ZL prefixes"

Rare DX Prefixes to Watch

Most Wanted:

VP8 - Falkland Islands
VK0 - Heard Island
3Y0 - Bouvet Island
FT5 - Amsterdam & St. Paul Islands
P5 - North Korea
BS7 - Scarborough Reef

Other Rare:

ZL - New Zealand
VK - Australia
ZS - South Africa
9G - Ghana
S9 - São Tomé and Príncipe

Band Plans

Common DX frequencies:

160m: 1.830-1.840 (CW), 1.840-1.850 (Digital)
80m: 3.500-3.600 (CW), 3.790-3.800 (Digital)
40m: 7.000-7.040 (CW), 7.070-7.080 (Digital)
30m: 10.100-10.140 (CW/Digital only)
20m: 14.000-14.070 (CW), 14.070-14.100 (Digital)
17m: 18.068-18.100 (CW), 18.100-18.110 (Digital)
15m: 21.000-21.070 (CW), 21.070-21.120 (Digital)
12m: 24.890-24.920 (CW), 24.920-24.930 (Digital)
10m: 28.000-28.070 (CW), 28.070-28.120 (Digital)

Tips

Use Your Callsign - Some clusters require valid callsigns
Check Multiple Clusters - Coverage varies by region
Filter by Band - Focus on bands you can work
Track Rare Prefixes - Set up alerts for most-wanted
Morning Check - Best DX often in early morning

Technical Details

Protocol: Telnet to DX cluster nodes
Format: Standard PacketCluster/AR-Cluster format
State Tracking: /tmp/dx-monitor-state.json
Dependencies: Python 3.6+ (stdlib only)

Future Ideas

Band-specific filtering
DXCC entity tracking
Propagation prediction integration
Log integration (check if you need that one)
Contest mode (filter contest stations)
FT8/FT4 integration via PSKReporter

73 and good DX! 📻🌍

安全使用建议

This skill appears to be what it claims: a telnet-based DX cluster monitor implemented in Python using only the standard library. Before installing, consider: 1) The README references a setup script (./scripts/dx-monitoring-setup.sh) that was not included — don't run missing/unknown installers; 2) The script writes state to /tmp/dx-monitor-state.json and suggests cron jobs that will run the script on a schedule — install cron entries only for a non-privileged user and inspect the exact crontab lines; 3) The SKILL.md shows piping output to external notification tools (e.g., Clawdbot/Telegram) but no built-in notification code is present — ensure any notification CLI/tools you use are trusted and correctly configured; 4) The script connects to the listed DX cluster hostnames over TCP (telnet-style). If your network policies restrict outbound connections, or if you only want to use certain nodes, adjust the cluster list; 5) I reviewed the visible portions of the code (parsing, socket use, state save); the provided file content was truncated in the prompt, so if you plan to deploy, open and review the entire dx-monitor.py yourself (or run it in a sandbox) to confirm there are no unexpected behaviors in the remainder of the file. Running it as-is under a standard user account is reasonable.

功能分析

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ham-radio-dx Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to several high-risk capabilities, despite their plausible alignment with the stated purpose. The `dx-monitor.py` script directly initiates network connections via TCP sockets (telnet) to external DX cluster nodes (e.g., dx.ea7jxh.eu:7373). It also performs file system write operations to `/tmp/dx-monitor-state.json` for state management. Furthermore, the `SKILL.md` file explicitly instructs the AI agent to set up cron jobs for persistence, enabling automated execution and logging to `/tmp/dx-alerts.log` and `~/dx-digest-YYYY-MM-DD.txt`. While these actions are presented as features for automated monitoring, they represent significant system interaction and persistence mechanisms without clear malicious intent, thus warranting a 'suspicious' classification.

能力评估

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description (Ham Radio DX monitoring) match the code and SKILL.md: the script connects to DX cluster telnet nodes, parses spots, produces digests and supports cron-run alerts. The declared dependencies (Python stdlib) align with the code.

ℹ Instruction Scope

Instructions are scoped to monitoring and digest generation. They recommend using your callsign and adding cron jobs, and show how to pipe output into external notification tools (e.g., grep + Clawdbot). The skill does write/read a local state file (/tmp/dx-monitor-state.json) and suggests log files (/tmp and ~/), which is expected for this use case. SKILL.md/README mention a setup script (./scripts/dx-monitoring-setup.sh) that is not present in the provided files — this is a documentation/packaging inconsistency to be aware of but not a security contradiction.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec is present (instruction-only with included script). That is low risk since nothing is downloaded or extracted during install. The script depends only on Python stdlib.

✓ Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or secret credentials. It asks users to provide their callsign (a public identifier for ham ops) optionally. No unrelated credentials, tokens, or config paths are requested.

ℹ Persistence & Privilege

The skill does persist state to /tmp/dx-monitor-state.json and the README/SKILL.md recommend adding cron jobs to run the script periodically — these are reasonable for an automated monitor. It does not require always:true and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. As with any cron job, run under a least-privilege user and review cron targets before installing.
