I doesn't matter LPL is not the driving force for spots. The entire
cluster system is. His system does nothing but filter spots from around
the globe and respot them.
I don't worry too much about things outside my control.

Hello Mike:
What happens if LPL system spot all NA stations and not V31MU when you're
there???
Will be you happy with that ?
Or imagine that the system don't spot PR stations (common dxcc) and just spot
you every 10 min (uncommon dxcc( , both in NA. it's that's fair ?
That what I mean Mike
It looks CQoIP !!

LPL has created a tool that does something different. It is what it is. When
that system first came about many Cluster owners decided to ignore those spots
until the system was refined better. EA8's are spotted just fine. LPL does
not sponsor and run contests. It is just one tool that appears to be created
for DXers.
There is nothing stopping someone else from creating a tool that does something
else is there?
The LPL system is dumped into the regular cluster system so what exactly is the
problem? There is no secret gateway to LPL spots that only certain contesters
use etc. Smart folks will connect to many different clusters to make sure they
get the spot as soon as possible to avoid packet pileups.
There are plenty of tools out there to be used. Pick the ones that work for
you. Not being spotting on LPL's system is a non issue.

Mike, please allow me to jump in.
I think Juan RM is not referring in general to RBN network. It looks like W3LPL (at least) has some
kind of RBN to "Normal Cluster" gateway in which RBN spots that meets certain criteria,
are forwarded to "Normal Clusters". Apparently the criteria is rareness.
So Juan point is, during a contest, he is competing with another AF station. He
finds unfair that W3LPL keeps forwarding his rare AF competitor RBN spots to
normal clusters while not forwarding his spotd because he is not rare enough.
I think Juan has a valid point if it is tbe way he describes.

From Mike VE9AA:
Juan,
I am not sure where you got your information from, and I am not an authority
on the RBN by any means, but I find that statement quite odd indeed !
You can check this out yourself and prove that it's just not true my friend.
(I did a search myself of EA8's and see 100 CW and RTTY spots from several
EA8's just this afternoon in the past couple hours alone.
Go to some band that is open. (20m in the daytime, 40m in the evening).
Pick a clear frequency.
Use a good antenna and normal power and call CQ EA8RM TEST 4 or 5 times.
(all at the same speed)
Repeat a couple times on the same frequency just to be sure.
Go to: http://www.reversebeacon.net/srch.php
Type in EA8RM. Hit enter.
I am sure the page will be full from all over EU or NA (or both, depending
on your power, antenna, prop,e tc).
Try it.
GL !
CU in the next contest.
Mike VE9AA
