DXContest.org provides a real-time DX cluster, integrating advanced spotting capabilities with features like _propagation maps_, _PSKReporter_, and the _Reverse Beacon Network_. This platform enables radio amateurs to monitor DX activity, apply sophisticated filters to spot data, and even utilize CAT control for their transceivers directly through the web interface. The service is designed for immediate utility, offering free access without requiring user registration. Users can send DX spots, control their radio via CAT, and consult a contest calendar. The platform also provides traditional Telnet access for those preferring client-based cluster interaction. Developed by Pascual R. Salas Vidal, EA5WU, the service aims to be a comprehensive tool for real-time DX operations and contest participation, offering a blend of modern web features and classic cluster functionality.

Demonstrates the operational status and reach of the LoRa APRS infrastructure, providing a live mapping and logging service for network participants. Users can verify network coverage, monitor _iGates_, and track mobile stations, observing messages and real-time network activity. The platform offers insights into station locations and data flow within the LoRa APRS system, which is crucial for understanding the performance of LoRa technology in Automatic Packet Reporting System applications. This utility helps amateur radio operators understand where transmissions are being received and processed by iGates, and how mobile units are moving within the network. The site's analysis tools provide RF performance monitoring and metrics, enabling users to assess network efficiency and identify areas for improvement. For example, operators can see how many packets are received by specific iGates, or track the path of a mobile station over a **100 km** range, offering practical insights into signal propagation and network reliability for _packet radio_ enthusiasts.
