The HTML pages are created by a custom Perl script which extracts entries from the DXSpider database. For each HTML page there is a corresponding CSV file with the same fields separated by the ^ character (for consistency with DXSpider). So if you want to extract data from these pages use the CSV file.

For example if the HTML page is

• http://www.ham-radio.ch/dxc/top_50_50_MHz.html

then the CSV file is

• http://www.ham-radio.ch/dxc/top_50_50_MHz.csv .

The pages are generated roughly every 12 seconds.

I may make the source available in September 2004 but before you ask just be aware that many users running a web-based DX Cluster can put so much load on your web server that it becomes unusable - it can use all available bandwidth over the weekend.
