      The Toolset is called Ham Alert
      https://hamalert.org/about

      It is a Free tool that I use religiously.
      I get Text message over my cell phone of Countries I still need
      I use it’s filtering tools to allow me to get Notices of everything I need to work and get confirmed for DXCC
      on 160 meters I need a considerable number.
      I am down to only needing 7 all time new ones for any Band / Mode
      I have DXCC Awards for all HF bands with the exception of 160 meters and 6 meters

      The Seven I need are…….

      North Korea P5
      Johnston Island KH3
      Kerguelen Island FT5/X
      Pratas Island BV9P
      San Felix Island CE0X
      Syria YK
      Turkmenistan EZ

      Syria is often Spotted but it is either an Operator that only is on when the propagation is from the West coast of the US to them
      Not W5 call area or is an often Bosnian station that does not send his call clearly enough in CW that it is often copied as YK
      So I get some false spots for this one because they are wrongly spotted.

      Cheers!
