A collection of command line tools and wrapper scripts for the eggdrop IRC bot.

Eggdrop is an IRC bot written in C with a built-in TCL scripting environment. These IRC bot scripts are based around command-line tools written in perl with a TCL wrapper layer. The command line tools are designed to be standalone with VT220/ANSI terminal output, and have been adapted for IRC color output.

All original code is 2-clause BSD licensed. See LICENSE file.

The astro program has portions derived from K1JT Joe Taylor's wsjt program and is GPLv3 licensed. See COPYING file.

See the /r/amateurradio wiki page for qrm bot.

As tested on Debian:

• curl
• perl
• perl-base
• perl-modules
• libastro-satpass-perl (Astro::Coord::ECI -- see instructions below)
• libclone-perl
• libdate-manip-perl
• libdatetime-format-strptime-perl
• libdatetime-perl
• libjson-perl
• libmath-bigint-perl
• libmath-round-perl
• libtext-csv-perl
• liburi-perl
• libdbd-sqlite3-perl
• libdbi-perl
• libsqlite3-0

If using the stock command, the curl-impersonate fork/patch is needed to emulate the TLS handshake of an actual browser to work around TLS fingerprinting:

• curl-impersonate

$ sudo apt-get install git dh-make-perl apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update
$ git clone 'https://github.com/trwyant/perl-Astro-Coord-ECI.git'
$ cd perl-Astro-Coord-ECI
$ git checkout 'v00.077'
$ dh-make-perl --vcs none --build

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? yes

What approach do you want? manual

$ sudo dpkg -i ../libastro-satpass-perl_0.077-1_all.deb

Reasonable precautions have been made to filter out or escape shell special characters and so forth, but this is not foolproof. I suggest running the bot inside a minimal chroot without any setuid binaries, or a suitable VM, as needed.

1. Clean up and modularize TCL scripts
2. Document how to use and configure TCL scripts
3. Accept other formats for !setgeo
4. Use geo grid for !activity
5. Cleanup needed in qrz script
6. Add a preferred wx station in addition to !setgeo geo coords
7. If no callsign is specified with !spots use irc nick.
8. Requested by K1NZ: !untappd for beer info -- they are not giving out API keys. :(
9. Add clublog log check or clublog log search
10. Add clublog DXCC activity data
11. Add POTA
12. Move dotfiles to a dot dir
13. Add clublog league status
14. Add free space path loss calculation using gnu units.
15. Add wavelength and frequency calculation (free space and in-wire w/ velocity factor).
16. Add coax loss calculation by length, frequency/band and type.
17. Add nearest fires command from aeris wx api.
