New to Bunker Spotting? Here’s a Quick Guide!

If you’re just getting started with posting activations, here’s a simple breakdown of how to get your spot out there:

 Option 1: Self-Spot using Ham2K PoLo

This is the easiest and most powerful option. When you self-spot your activation using the Ham2K PoLo portable logger, it’ll automatically send your spot to:

– The Ham2K Spots List
– The WWBOTA Cluster
– Our WWBOTA Spots & Alerts WhatsApp Channel
– www.fieldspotter.radio and other apps and services

Note: For information regarding how to self-spot and show QRT in Ham2K PoLo please see the PoLo documentation.

 Option 2: Spot Directly on the WWBOTA Website Cluster

Head over to https://wwbota.net/clusterwithmap/ or use the New Spot button in WWBOTA Logger, and pop your spot onto the cluster. This will also auto-share your activation to:

– The WhatsApp Spots & Alerts Channel
– www.fieldspotter.org and other apps and services

This is the button to press in WWBOTA Logger (https://wwbota.net/wwlog/):

 Option 3: Post Straight into the WhatsApp Spots & Alerts Channel

If your internet isn’t playing ball and you can’t access the cluster, just drop your spot directly into the WhatsApp group. It works — but just a heads-up: this won’t forward your spot anywhere else.

Best bet? Use Option 1 or 2 if you can — they reach the most people automatically.

And of course, you’re always welcome to share your spot manually in other radio chat groups or the main DX Cluster.
