I did not check but that is very sad to hear.
:sob:

It is/was a great app. And the contacts I had with him via email and PM here on the reflector were always very positive. Bogdan will be greatly missed.

Yes, right now we essentially have two parallel spotting systems. Old code that hasnā€™t been updated is using API2. VK Port-a-log, SOTA Goat, SOTA Activator, SOTA Spotter to name a few.

We will get this sorted, but for now I recommend only using SOTAWatch, SOTLAS, APRS2SOTA, or SMS to send / receive spots.

This is a temporary situation that will get resolved.

ZL SMS/InReach spotting gateway (and ontheair.nz) are now working fine after the upgrade and using new API.

Good job Andrew and Andy. Great to wake up and find it all working!

How about RBNHole?

RBNhole probably just needs telling that it needs to ā€œman upā€ and possibly a few slaps. :wink:

Being serious, we know about it.

The new look is very spiffy, indeed; intuitive, and in living color!
A GREAT BIG WELL DONE!

@MM0FMF - any support for test spots via SMS (or plans for it)? If so, whatā€™s the format?

Iā€™ve been thinking about itā€¦ but thereā€™s nothing definite yet. Watch this space.

WoW very pretty pages to negotiate.
Works good on my Android phone too.
Like the colour coded points value, maybe would like the Log Chase button next to the summit value rather than right across the page at the end on the comment. But just a lazy comment. Good work everyone and thanks.

Folks, is the old version of SOTA DB gone for good now? Sorry to say, but I am trying to stay away from the new design. Just found it quite distractive with the current balance of fonts/colours/info on screen. 73 de EI4JY, Alex

The updated and tested version of rbnhole was pushed live yesterday but itā€™s possible I pushed the wrong version. Was a long day yesterday. Iā€™ll look later today

Actually, itā€™s the empty comment thatā€™s causing the issue. Iā€™ll fix this later today, but in the interim, just add a comment.

OK, that worked. Thanks for the super quick response chaps!

Yep, didnā€™t go a git pull before I built. Rookie error. This should now be fixed (modulo other bugs I havenā€™t found)

APRS2SOTA should now flag any spots it recieves from APRS with either QRT or TEST (no matter what case is used) as the appropriate type on Sotwatch and will also filter ā€˜QRTā€™ and ā€˜TESTā€™ spots from being reported back to the APRS user.
