[LCC] DX clusters

[Charles Morrison]

Yeah, both Pat and I use it as well. 


Like Roland says, it allows all the filtering etc.  With the connectivity of
all clusters via the internet these days, there's really no wrong choice.
If you decide to use VE7CC, then once you update the list of clusters in the
program, you'll notice different ones.  There's basically several different
compatible software packages that the sysops use.  Since both CC Cluster and
VE7CC's ARUser are both written by VE7CC, I'd recommend when you're ready to
connect to find a CC cluster.  It'll either be noted in the name that you
connect to, or you'll see the prompt as CC>   This will support the advanced
features of VE7CC's ARUser (the client program).

 

You really cant go wrong with any cluster though, they're all tied together
now days.

Scott, I use the VE7CC CC Cluster program,
http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/default.htm#prog. >From it I usually use one of
three clusters: ve7cc, n5in or ab5k. I have examine how fast the clusters
broadcast spots and I can't tell the minor difference between them. I think
Charlie KI5XP and Pat W5WMU use this program.

 

Using this cluster program, you can control where your spots come from such
as NA only, or DX only. Nice for Sweepstakes, Roundup and CQWW. 

Your logging program just needs to point to this program after it is setup
for telnet as: 127.0.0.1 :7300 where 7300 is the port.

 

Good luck in contest.

For our area, what is a good DX cluster to use?
