About WWFF
World Wide Flora & Fauna (WWFF) is an amateur radio program that encourages radio operators to operate from protected nature areas and promotes awareness of the importance of protecting our natural environment.
The WWFF program aims to draw attention to the importance of protecting nature, flora and fauna, and encourages amateur radio operators to operate from designated protected nature parks and areas around the world.
Spotline
The service you are using here is called Spotline. Spotline is a tool for WWFF activators and hunters to share and discover active WWFF references.
RBN Autospotting
RBN Autospotting uses the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) to automatically create spots in the Spotline system when it detects callsign at active agenda.
dxspider / dxcluster service at port 7300
We have telnet server that mimics the dxspider service. It is useful for software that wants to connect to a dxcluster style service and wants to use the ‘dxspider’ or ‘telnet’ protocol.
Features
- Many logger software support dxspider protocol
- Accepts connections on port 7300
Agenda & Spot Data
You can access the WWFF agenda and spot data directly as plain text JSON files. These files are updated automatically by the system and can be used for integration purposes.
Recommended refresh interval is 30 seconds. Please do not exceed this to avoid overloading the server.
