One of the options that comes with the default list of cluster locations 
is the ability to pull down spots from DX Summit. You could pull down 
1000 spots (or even more, I think) and see if that helps.

Of course, it's not going to help much to find something rare that went 
off the air 8 hours ago, but it would let you know that they might be 
around.
