ALPHASSL by GlobalSign back again

   SSL/TLS Certificate

In order to maintain the high standard of operation of the portal, I bought ALPHASSL's SSL/TLS certificate for the next 2 years through the GlobalSign distributor.

Those who know what computers are, they know what this toy is for. This server is a compromise of computing power / resources and power economics. It has a hardware RAID and bay for 4 3.5 "SATA drives. RAID provides data storage security. The project assumes an analysis of the use of MikroServer as a workstation, file server (file backup), router, NAS, etc. Work on starting next elements is underway on OPENBSD system.

The cost of initiating the project of the new HP Proliant MicroServer G7 N40Lw server with RAID1 version is about $500. The project was financed with the own funds of club members. IT work was done by the members of the club: Zbyszek SP5DXM, Zygi SP5ELA, Jacek SQ5BPF. The project envisages maintaining the server installation for a period of 5 years. The total cost of the project is about $2000 PLN.

SP5ELA Log on-line

SP5ELA main log on-line

♣New project 2018 beta: https://log.rf.pl/sp5ela-beta-2018/

♣New project 2018: https://log.rf.pl/sp5ela-2018/

The new log design was created in cooperation with Spike SP9NJ, a capable php programmer. The log has been improved by the ADIF numbering of DXCC entities, country names and country flags. The QSO confirmation columns were also separated into "classic" and LoTW.

♣Old project (2008-2018): https://log.rf.pl/sp5ela/

This project is based on scripts written by Richard SQ9MDD. The last version of the log script was dated 2008. I adopted these scripts at the end of 2008 with some modifications to my own needs. In 2017, these scripts were modified again with the participation of Jacek SQ5BPF. 105.3K QSO search time is 4 seconds.

My logs are on two servers - the SP5ELA / SP5PBE standalone club server and the second high-power commercial server. In both cases of on-line logs, the input script data is exported from the logging program (eg. Logger32) in the ADIF standard (text file). My main log contains over 109,000 records and has several dozen Mb. The QSO search time in the log is about 1 second. Good score!

SP5ELA & SP5PBE Server

• Server

OpenBSD Server

This website (SP5ELA Technical Support Page) and domain sp5ela.rf.pl (https://sp5ela.rf.pl) are installed on the server* of Warsaw DX Club SP5PBE (in the past - Warsaw University of Technology Radio Club SP5PBE).

Our own standalone server is running under OpenBSD system and Apache and is safe. All connections are encrypted under https/SSL layer. And as always, a rule of thumb is: "the server is as secure as the administrator is trained". And at this moment I would like to express my great appreciation to the club server senior administrator SP5DXM, Zbigniew Kossowski, Msc for his support in the process of the portal system transfer and installation. He is the right man at the right place.

On this web page will be published various materials, not necessarily those that can be found elsewhere. In any case, the author of knowing their own time and technical constraints reserves the right to not necessarily immediate update. A man gotta know his own limitations.

SP5ELA Internet portal for some time will be moved to another server using possessed the shorter the domain "rf.pl." The target domain is sp5ela.rf.pl. "Done". The old domain ended its life at the end of 2017.

73 for now and see you later! Maybe on the airwaves.
