Hi all,
Don't filter too closely, or you may miss something unusual!
It can be useful to see if other bands are open, or opening in other areas to
give you a heads-up as to potential activity.
You could limit it to showing only the band you are operating on, but if - say
10m opened - you might miss that if you are only seeing spots for 20m.
Just because they are spotted on the cluster doesn't mean a great deal, as some
spotters (eg skimmers) will see stuff most of us can't hear, and if there's a
spot for something "nice", the chances are that too many others will be there
before you anyway.
When I use the cluster, I allow everything to get through, just so that I cna
see what the propagation is like, and then base my activity on that. In the
Roundup, I thought 15m would be the money band, yet it wasn't. 20m was far more
productive for me.
Just my thougts..........
