Dick1) Connect to a CC Cluster such as VE7CC-1 AE5E-2 etc.2) Turn skimmer spots on by "set/skimmer"3) Set the keyword filter to reject spots you don't want. "set/filter keyword/reject cw, psk, beacon
This selfish practice can easily be stamped out by not logging the QSO of those who do not send an acknowledgement. 73 Lee /"//This selfish practice can easily be stamped out by working those individ
John Even if it took you 5 minutes to bust a pileup the first time, you would spend another 5 minutes to see if you got a confirmation the next time? Lee Is this a common problem? If I was unsure of
Starting your call macros with a couple of spaces does as well as <CR><LF> and has he added benefit of not causing the text to scroll down the screen if you press your callsign button several times.
David If you are using my cluster and want skimmer spots just enter SET/SKIMMER and you will get them. You also should reject at least CW and PSK skimmer spots during RTTY contests by using the KEYWO
-- Original Message -- Tim You were implying that something is wrong with my node's default filtering. Your own filtering at the VE7CC-1 cluster node was last updated Dec 14, 2014. Your country filte
Hi Jeff I made a handful of contacts with JA on 80. The activity by JA on 80 was very poor every though propagation was good. I only had 2 answer my CQs. These were on 3599.5. I also worked a couple
Hi Ed. I love operating on 80. During many contests I am SO2R all night long on 40 and 80 as they are the only bands open up here. I think the best is for the JA stations to operate 3575 and down and
Jamie How sending this. "{enter}WW3S WW3S ". Maybe this would break the association between the CQ from AA5AU and you better and not spot you. I seem to rarely get spotted during S&P and this is what

Dave I even put a CQ at the end of my TU message. TU VE7CC CQ Lee Dave, I think the CQ on the end serves two purposes. First, if a S&P station tunes across a signal and misses the opening CQ he has n
These links may be interesting to some of you. These are the typical rejected spots of any CC Cluster. RTTY skimmer spots are considered valid if spotted by ONE Skimmer. RTTY Skimmers are generally m
At risk of being shot at for self promotion I would like to say that although clusters running CC Cluster software are not using the CT1BOH algorithm , in my opinion what CC Clusters use is better. T
You get busted because you are too close in frequency and call to W7RN or W7DRM and they were there first. 73 Lee -- Original Message -- So why am I in the busted list 41 times? 73 Jim W7RY --Origina
Since most of the RTTY spots in my dropped lists were listed twice, the actual real number of dropped spots was closer to 20,000 rather than the 37,000 listed. Out of 922,000 RTTY spots over the week
Hi Phil Always nice to work you in the contests. I am curious which cluster call you mean when you say you are using "skimmer cluster". Do you mean the RBN or another specific cluster? I wrote the CC
Ed The trailing CQ in RTTY CQ messages is equivalent to the trailing TEST in CW CQ messages. I will not be eliminating it. When I see or hear a call a couple of times, I really want to know if I can
CC Cluster do more quality checking than AR Clusters can for skimmer spots. You cannot turn this quality checking off. It is permanently enabled. CC Clusters do not send duplicate spots more than onc
Users should never connect to the RBN directly. Users should connect to Cluster nodes that remove the dupes and bad spots. This greatly reduces the CPU usage of the user's computer. Lee VE7CC -- Orig
For RTTY contests using CC Clusters, you can eliminate spots that have non RTTY modes in the comments. For skimmers spots this eliminates ALL other modes. For non skimmer spots, it removes some of th
