just a lucky guess???  No, it is obvious from your statements that you
know not what you are speaking of.

A lucky guess??? I guess not!

As I said, you don't know what it takes to productively use the spotting
network during contests.  I suggest you keep your comments confined to
areas that you know something about.  

> THERE IS NO NEED FOR DXCLUSTER DURING CONTESTS

'DXCLUSTER' as you call it was designed by and for contests.  If it
wasn't for multi op contesters who wanted to be able to help each other
and their club totals during contests there may never have been a system
like this.
