DXHunter's header row, ported: Watchlist / Active / Needed counts up front and
the All-Modes select beside the other filters (DIGI matches the digital class,
SSB folds USB/LSB). Counters, card lists and the Active/Needed-only filters all
read the same mode-filtered view, so the numbers add up to what is on screen.
And the notify alert now asks the SAME worked-slot question the tab asks —
before making a sound. It used to fire on the raw spot while the tab's verdict
arrived on a debounce, so the bell rang for a slot that showed Worked a moment
later. Judged in the backend at emit time: exact slot for named modes, digital
class for generic DATA, today-only for contest entries.
A field in the tab's toolbar (e.g. WWA): while non-empty, any spotted callsign
CONTAINING it joins the watchlist as a contest entry by itself — a
special-event fleet (HB9WWA, DL0WWA, F4WWA/P…) is collected as it appears
instead of typed in one by one, and each is judged per UTC day like any contest
entry. Contains, not prefix, because the event string sits anywhere in those
calls.
Global setting, cached in an atomic so the spot pipeline never touches the
settings store per spot. Emptying the field stops the collecting but keeps what
was collected — DXHunter deletes non-matching contest entries on a pattern
change, and a setting that silently empties an operator's list is the one
behaviour of the original this port refuses.
The tab also refreshes on backend auto-adds (event) and on a slow tick, so
last-seen and the counters stay honest while it sits open.
7.0589 falls in the band plan's generic [7.04-7.1] DATA segment — an F/H
DXpedition off the standard dials — and 'DATA' is in nobody's log, so the spot
read NEW MODE / Needed while the FT8 contact sat right there. A generic mode
cannot be matched exactly; it is now judged at digital-class grain — worked if
ANY digital mode of that call is logged on that band — against a second
class-folded slot set built beside the exact one (shared when the grouping
option already folds them). DXHunter answers this with a finer frequency table,
which fails on exactly these off-dial expeditions; the class rule cannot.
The toolbar also wraps as a whole with tighter gaps instead of dropping its
last filter chip onto a lone second line.
The first version asked the alerts' worked-index — keyed by RAW mode (FT8) —
with a CLASS name (DIGI). Nothing ever matched, and a DXpedition worked on five
bands showed every slot as Needed.
The verdict now reads the cluster's own WorkedCallSlotKeys set, built in the
cached status maps (now unconditionally — it used to exist only when a display
option wanted it). Same index, same mode normalisation as the grid, so the
watchlist can never contradict the cluster about the same spot. The contest
today-set is normalised through the same function.
And the cards column is capped at a reading width instead of stretching
callsign-to-badge lines across the whole window.
The concept, transplanted: a list of callsigns or prefixes being hunted,
matched against the live spot stream, one card per entry with the spots
underneath and the two questions that matter answered on every line — is this
slot still needed, and what is it worth (the cluster's own NEW badges, read
from the same status index).
The file is DXHunter's own watchlist.json, field for field, ClubLog block
included though phase 2 will fill it — a file that round-trips unchanged is the
whole of 'same format', and a test pins it with a real DXHunter entry. Global
(dataDir), not per profile.
CONTEST is per entry, not the global mode DXHunter has: a contest entry is
judged against the current UTC day — the boundary lives in the query's date
bound, so midnight needs no timer and resets nothing. Normal entries read the
same in-memory worked index the alerts use. Prefix matching is why RI0SP
catches RI0SP/MM, pinned by test.
Notify goes through the existing alert:fired event — the frontend already
toasts and sounds it — throttled to one alert per entry per two minutes,
because a DXpedition lights every skimmer on the planet.
Tab wired like NET Control: opt-in from Tools, persisted, closable. Single
click fills the callsign, double click works the spot — the cluster's own
gesture, kept.
