Bob,
I am in the same situation.. I use many toos available free..a few of them
are #1) Dx cluster I leave it unfiltered ( with the exception of band ) so
I see all spots. #2) Hamspot.net you can really get a feel for who is on
here, as it gets the reports from the skimmers. #3) Listen alot ( already
been mentioned ).. When running other modes I use the RB network, PSK
reporter, http://jt65.w6cqz.org/receptions.php (for JT65) in addition to
the others.. It can be a tad of info overload..but when im trying to work
into an area I cant hear @ the moment the LAST thing I wanna do, as you
mentioned before is CQ on a QRG in use. Enjoy!
