- installation of CLFTZ into a packet cluster system
- ==================================================
-
- The CLFTZ features are described in pc newsletter december 91.
-
- The program fills a packet cluster data base file named FTZMUF.FUL
- with signalstrength data for all radioamateur frequencies to all zones
- The input data is automatically taken from the latest WWV data in the
- clusterfile WWV.DAT ( Which should be in the \PACKCLUS directory )
-
- Copy the program CLFTZ.EXE into the \packclus directory.
- in the same directory, copy the files FTZMUF2.DAT , FTZ.CFG and
- FTZ.STA .
- The CLFTZ program has to be called from a dos batch file.
- e.g. In a DAILY.CMD file write :
-
-
- ========== part of DAILY.CMD file =========
-
- !Make the FOT calculations, jump to DOS and execute the batch file DOFTZ.BAT
- !
- DOS/NOWAIT DOFTZ
- !
-
- ========= end of example in DAILY.CMD ====
-
-
-
- The batch file DOFTZ.BAT is located in the \PACKCLUS directory and could
- look like :
-
- Start of DOFTZ.BAT file
- =======================
-
- REM : This is the DOFTZ.BAT file
- REM : Calculate FOT 's ( outputfile FTZMUF.FUL is autom. put into the DB dir.)
- CLFTZ
- REM : make an INDEX file in the DB directory
- CD DB
- MAKEIDX FTZMUF.FUL 100
- REM : and return to \PACKCLUS on an exit
- CD..
- End of DOFTZ.BAT file
- =====================
-
-
- In the SYSOP.DAT file , you should define the new command SH/FTZMUF
- in the usual way :
-
- SET/COMMAND FTZMUF FTZMUF.LIS FTZMUF.FUL/FTZMUF.IDX * * FTZMUF.NF
- SET/COMMAND/COMMENT FTZMUF FOT-calculations from the latest WWV cluster data.
-
- ( Create the .LIS and .NF file yourself , see cluster sysop-manual for info )
-
- Correct the first three lines in the file FTZ.STA with an editor.
- The first line contains the call of your cluster the following lines the LAT/
- LONG info.
- When CLFTZ is called up, it takes about 1 minute to calculate the
- propagation from your qth to all WAZ zones (386/33MHz 4MByte RAM with NCACHE)
- The results are put into the data base file FTZMUF.FUL in the DB directory.
- CLFTZ uses your latest WWV message for its calculations.
-
- The cluster user has to put a WAZ zone number after the SH/FTZ command.
- calculation for the long path of the zones 1,3,12,27,29,30,31,32
- are performed as well.
- They are called up by adding the letter L to the zone number. e.g.
- SH/FTZ 12 for the short path and SH/FTZ 12L for the long path.
- A list of the signal field strength is created for all amateur bands .
- The program was made by OE1TKW, with great help of DL6RAI.
