This is a meta issue to track the inclusion of various programmes in Field Spotter, and the issues that may need to be overcome on the upstream side before we can support them. If you have any more information that can help with implementing these, or there is another programme you would like to see added, please let me know!

The software already supports the following direct from their own APIs: POTA, SOTA, GMA, WWBOTA.

It also supports the following spots from the GMA API, which covers other programmes: WWFF, IOTA, Castles (WCA/COTA), Lighthouses (ILLW/ARLHS), Mills (MOTA).

The rest of the headings in this issue cover outdoor radio programmes that we could add, or improve support for if changes happen on their side.

HuMPs Excluding Marilyns Award (HEMA)

In progress, see #21

Beaches on the Air

There is a list of recent activations but these are just done on a day-by-day basis and are not live spots. Unclear whether there is an API. No known live spotting capability.

World Lighthouses Award

No known live spotting capability. Locations are shown as Google Earth screenshots and as lat/lon points one per page, unclear if the source data is public or if there is a better alternative than scraping HTML for the positions. Not sure if truly separate from the ILLW and ARLHS spots we already get from GMA?

English Castles Award

Closing this as it's no longer terribly useful; additional programmes will be added as new issues.
