HamAlert just not working for POTA spots anymore?

so ive been using hamalert for maybe 6 months now to track POTA activations in my state, had a pretty good trigger setup for colorado parks and was getting regular notifications on my phone. but lately the past couple weeks it seems like im barely getting any alerts even though i can see there's definitely activators out there on the pota website

checked my trigger settings multiple times and they look right - park division K, state CO, all modes enabled. anyone else having issues with pota spots coming through hamalert lately or am i missing something obvious here?

yeah i noticed this too, seems like pota spots have been spotty (no pun intended) on hamalert recently. i think part of the issue is that some parks cross state lines and the system cant figure out which state the activator is actually in, so you might be missing some. also check if you have any frequency or time limits set that might be filtering stuff out

Hamalert has been having some growing pains with the increased digital mode activity lately. The developer HB9DQM mentioned on their forum that they've had to filter out some FT8/FT4 spots to keep the system from being overwhelmed. might not be directly related to your pota issue but could be affecting overall performance. have you tried checking the hamalert forum to see if others are reporting similar problems?
