Hi Tom,

The "DX Telnet network" we know today is the grandchild of 
PacketCluster(tm), which was invented by members of the Yankee Clipper 
Contest Club in the 1980s to exchange spots DURING CONTESTS.  So it's 
perfectly OK in my mind to see domestic spots during contest weekends. If 
you don't like them, learn how to use your cluster filters.
