## What is it

[ARRL Field Day](http://field-day.arrl.org/) is a once a year 24hr emergency
preparidness event for radio amateurs (Hams). During the event, we try and
make as many radio contacts with other Hams in a 24 hour period. You can find
out more about amateur radio by visiting the [ARRL](https://www.arrl.org/).

## No really what is it

This server listens to multicast logging packets generated by multiple [fdlogger](https://github.com/mbridak/FieldDayLogger)
clients. So a group or club can submit a group cabrillo log.

## Installation

```bash
pip install fdserver
```

```text
usage: fdserver [-h] [-l]

Field Day aggregation server.

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -l, --log   Generate log
```

## Configuration and first run

When executed for the first time, the server will not find a configuration file.
When this happens, the server will place a fresh copy in the local directory.
Press CTRL-C to end the program then edit the configuration file now found at
`./server_preferences.json`. Unless you have good reason to, don't change the
multicast settings.
