N3FJP Bridge for local instance of OHC- Preview lines for current qsos, persistent lines for logged qsos

[stearnsy33]

Hey everyone, I've been working on getting N3FJP to play nice with the OHC map and finally have it in a working state.

I still have a 5-17+ second lag, but have fixed an issue where logged contacts would jump to the equator (0,0 lat/lon) by adding a location cache to the server side.

If anyone wants to try this out experimentally, here is the Gist with the bridge script and the necessary edits for wsjtx.js: https://gist.github.com/stearnsy33/c634e0cdac7637b2a772d315927b21d9

This is great work, and it's exactly the kind of thing that belongs in Rig Bridge as a first-class plugin rather than a Gist + manual wsjtx.js edits. The location-cache fix you did for the 0,0 jumps mirrors what the server-side spot enrichment now does, and the plugin framework (rig-bridge/plugins/, see the aprs-tnc and winlink plugins for the local-file/local-API pattern) would give you config UI, lifecycle, and updates for free. Want to turn the bridge into a PR? Happy to help with the plugin scaffolding — and the 5-17s lag is likely N3FJP's API polling interval, which a plugin could expose as a setting. 73, K0CJH
