DX Clusters

HI folks:

Do any of you know if there are any old fashioned DX Clusters (those 
that use RF rather than the internet) still around.  I dont have 
internet in the shack, and getting there is not an option, so if 
possible I would like to hook up my old TNC and get it going that way

Thanks

TIM

Antennas

Hi folks:

I have a couple questions for you.  I have one element of an old beam 
that used to be a rotatable dipole.  since I now have my tri-bander, i 
want to turn it into something.  I am thinking some sort of a ground 
mounted, phased array.  before I start building, I need to model it out. 
  Can someone please tell me how to find the proper values for the traps 
that are on it so I can include them in the model?  Will an array like 
this work? it would be useful with the upcoming vietnam and other 
DXPeditions to have some really low takeoff angles.  The dipole and 
tribander work good, but I would like to be able to supplement on a 
temporary basis for some events.

thanks
