There is a feature of PacketCluster (tm) that allows you to be connected and
yet only PUTOUT spots but not receive them. Any SYSOP can initiate this for
a user station. (I used this feature for many years while a single-op
single-band 20 M in the ARRL DX CW contests).
CT also allows single ops (UNassisted) to provide spots to the cluster and
does not send spots to the single op. (I used this in the recent CQ160 CW
contest).
Either way, the station would show up on the PacketCluster (tm) as being
connected. So, let's be careful when analyzing these types of situations.
