[ADXA] DX Cluster

[patw5vy at gmail.com]

I use SpotCollector (part of the DXLabs suite) to do band/mode/spotter's
location, etc.  filtering from Spot Sources such as DX Spots, dxc.W3LPL.net
and W3LPL.net:7373 (CW Skimmer-a firehose.I leave it off most of the time),
etc.  Going to add DXUSA (W1DX) to the mix based on Steve, W5KI's comments.
I also use DXWatch for 6M activity and PSKReporter to watch propagation on
160/80/6M..see who/where is hearing the DX. Lots of cool tools out there.
RBN is an amazing set of collectors and processing.  Most of the "needed"
spots I see are 160/80 and 6M..not my strong suit at this time.  I'm
guessing folks around/above 3K Desoto Challenge points probably have to
double check their spot sources to make sure they are still working after
not seeing a "needed" spot for a week or more

 

Pat, W5VY!

ADXA folks - Sitting here this morning thinking about DX clusters. What are
you using these days? That question may be old school now since a lot of you
FT8 folks are using JT alert and other things, but since I focus mostly on
CW I still like to monitor a DX cluster. I normally use VE7CC but know there
are others, and several of them are linked up.

 

So, insuring minds need to know. If you monitor or use one, which one?
