First off - -this is NOT an invitation to start a flame war, or do
discuss the technical/legal/moral/spiritual etc merits of the use (and
abuse) of dx telnet clusters -- each of us has our own views -- lets
leave it at that

That said:

I need some help -- for whatever reason, im having problems getting
into the DX-Central.com telnet cluster connections are getting
rejected -- ive contacted them and am awaiting a response.  I would
like some input from those of you who know of / use other cluster
sites.

I live about 35 miles southwest of cleveland, ohio (en91cd) and im
looking for good useful clusters that service my area - -there are a
lot of small time clusters but they dont seem to have enough traffic
to be useful -- id like to find a large one (or several) with good
coverage to use during contests and dx chasing (yes, i use the
appropriate categories in contests where i use them (usually assisted
but i do follow the rules) (and yes, i do know that many people
consider those of us who use clusters and nets for DX to be lesser ham
etc -- im not here to fight that war now) I simply want some input
from others who make use of this resource.

replies on or off list are appreciated -- flames will be ignored

thanks

TIM
