I'm having some telnet connection issues and need some help.
There are telnet servers that you can connect to that display ham radio stations that are on the amateur radio air waves. It sends a string (usually login:) and you type your call sign to login. It then spits out text like this with the spots when they appear. It's all automatic. No user intervention in the telnet session. The spots are filled out by others through a website entry and then are replicated through these telnet servers called "the DX cluster".
Here is an example of the output from one of these telnet sessions. New spots populate at the bottom.

I've loaded the telnet pallet, and have tried to connect, but I'm a little confused after the server sends me the "login:" I need to send it my call sign. Not even getting that far. Debug says "connection to the server timed out". I can telnet into it all day with no issues.
I'd like to read the above string into a JSON file so I can do some work, filter for specific states and modes and then spit it back out to a screen so we can view.
Thanks
