MacLoggerDX and telnet

Has anyone added HamAlerts to the MacLoggerDX Cluster list?

I’ve added this to dxclusters.dat:

When I select this via the cluster dropdown and try to log in, it seems to hang (even with the correct password etc.). Has anyone got this to work?

See the attached screenshot. It just hangs after logging in.

Seems to work for me if I append my Telnet password to the entry in dxclusters.dat as follows:

Thanks!! I’m now able to get HamAlert spots showing up in the MacLoggerDX cluster panel.

That is a very cool idea! I’ll make the same addition to MacLoggerDX.
