UPDATE (16.04.2020) : The hardware finally found a generous space in an ITX case with some 3D printed parts as holders for the Raspberry and the cable ports.
And btw. the script has made it’s way to Marco @IZ3GME and the SPOT SMS Italy is also now having the same features available (SPOT SMS Syntax and the official SOTA SMS format)
Here a picture of the case:
Hi Joe,
great, now we are awaiting the post Corona Sota season.

That’s far too neat to be running SOTA infrastructure 
INFO (24.09.2020) : Subdomain spotoe.docviper.net has a certificate update issue and browsers complain about insecure https connection. Will contact hosting servicedesk.
Instead of the subdomain you can also access via a http adress:
http://www.docviper.net/smsspotter/
But good news: My SMS spotting gateway is independent from webspace and working ufb.
INFO (12.10.2020) : OE SMS Spotter (and also the Italian one operated by Marco IZ3GME ) was out of service since 8th of October due to the updates made to the SSO Server
Thanks Andy @MM0FMF for finding the problem and prompt fix.
Also my webpage can be access per https since last week. System back in operation 
Sorry for the missed spots and error reports sent e.g. by Michael @DC8YZ
Let me add my apologies for the missed spots sent to italian gateway from @IV3NGF @I1WKN @IK2LEY @DC8YZ @LZ1ENE.
As written by Joe @OE5JFE the spotter is back to work thanks to Andy @MM0FMF
@OE5JFE @IZ3GME @MM0FMF: Joe,Marco and Andy thanks al lot for your Support with your Spoting Gateways and Software. It is very very helpful and important for me on the summit !!!
Many summits dont have 3G or 4G, only celular …
Thanks for your Hamspirit my Sota Friends.
Take care.

@OE1KLA: Sorry Karl for two missed SMS spots. Had some work done at the powergrid in the appartment and that caused gateway and internet to be out of operation. But I have seen your spots via Internet so all good I guess.
But now it is back.

2021-07-07: Thunderstorm broke Internet access. Hopefully back soon.
Update: working again
Hi Joe,
Many thanks for this great tool.
I used it many many times during my last activations.
It is easy and effective.
Chapeau bas !

2023-01-08: Restart needed as modem lost connection. This is happeing more often now. Maybe the hardware is slowly loosing it…
Sorry to @HB9BCK and @OE7HPI for your spots not working yesterday 
2023-02-23: And it happened again. Thanks to Sebastian @DL8MEK for contacting me. Unfortunatly I was not at my home QTH to fix it for some days. But it is back online.
2023-12-28: OE SMS GW currently OUT of ORDER. Looks like the modem has died. Please use one of the other gateway options. See: Summits on the Air
Will updated when online again.
2023-12-29: OE Gateway kind of back online 
with a temporary solution. Using a used modem that I found at local marketplace. Although a test again did not work. Not sure what is happening here.
Plan is to move to a more professional SIM800 module.
2024-08-09: OE SMS Gateway has move to a different hardware for testing. Now instead of the USB Modem a SIM800C hat-module for the Raspberry Pi is in use. It only can do 2G networks but in Austria it was announced that 2G will stay as a lot of IOT, House alarm systems and so on use it for data exchange. So let’s see if it will improve availability overall of my system.
Thanks to Peter @ON4UP for helping out with troubleshooting the module communications
