So, your personal rules are that assistance from "The Daily DX and other DX
sheets" is OK, but real-time data from the PacketCluster or Internet is not.
In other words, assistance is OK if the data is aged for at least a day and
you still have to find the DX because today they may not be where they were
spotted yesterday. Well, that same aged data is available on the
PacketCluster. Just do a search and only read the portion that is at least
a day old. You can use the cluster in many ways, including not reading the
current spots.
