Hi Gary,
I knew that clusters do not spot by sections, but people do indicate the
section in the comments section of the spot they send. The cluster I
was connected to sent what appeared to be a bunch of garbage in the
packet terminal window. It was actually good information but it was all
condensed together with carrot marks separating the different information.
I was playing around by connecting to different telnet's and found one
that's relatively close to me that sends out the information so I can
read it easily in the packet terminal window.
Here's what the packet terminal window show's when I'm connected to
N0VD-7 (not exactly as I did a cut and pasted and it changed a bit):

The information is there, but not nearly as easy to read as the output
of N0VD.
I'm curious if different nodes are running different software or if this
is a setup issue with each individual node. Something has changed with
clusters and I'm obviously not keeping up.

Packet clusters do not spot by sections, but by state. Because of this WL does not treat
any calls in the SS contests as "mults", they are just spots. I use the AR
User cluster software by VE7CC which allows you to set up alarms by state. I do this,
usually on Sunday, to help spot any missing states/provinces I still need. But again, it
just alarms on states, so if you need NNY the best you can do is set an alarm for NY and
then check out what shows up. Once you've worked the missing section delete the alarm to
prevent further false notifications.

I've noticed during SS last weekend, that the packet cluster information
in the packet terminal window was not very clean. In other words it was
a bunch of information separated by carrot marks.
This makes it difficult to determine which section was spotted in the
comment section.
Is this the way the packet clusters are working now, or does it depend
which node I connect to?
Thanks
