[RTTY] VE7CC - CC User

[Lee Sawkins]

For RTTY contests using CC Clusters, you can eliminate spots that have non RTTY modes in the comments. For skimmers spots this eliminates ALL other modes. For non skimmer spots, it removes some of the non RTTY spots. This stops you from wasting time trying to work needed mults that happen to be on PSK. 


In CC user you setup the Keyword filter to Reject CW, PSK, JT65, Olivia, SSTV, SSB, LSB, USB, BEACON,etc. This really clears out all the non workable spots from the band map. Of course you also want to reject all spots from the phone bands by setting the band mode filters as well. These filters also really help the clusters as they decrease the number of unwanted spots sent to users.

When using CC-User, I think it is very important to log into a 
node running CC-Cluster software. These nodes remove skimmer 
dupes, and do quality-checking before a spot is ever posted. I 
have used the following nodes successfully: 
VE7CC-1 
AE5E-2 
W0MU-1 
Many other CC-Cluster nodes are listed in CC-User's node list. 

Nodes running other software, especially AR v.6, may not be fully 
compatible with CC-User.

Last week, Dave K6LL, mentioned the program "CC User" and how he 
uses it to 
filter Packetcluster spots. I have to admit that I had never 
heard of CC 
User but I went ahead and downloaded and installed it on my 
computer 
(Windows 10) and it works great. I see that it is a tremendous 
asset for 
filtering Packetcluster spots. It takes the guesswork out of 
filtering. 

Previously I had not been filtering any of the RTTY skimmer spots 
during 
contests and it was causing the Bandmap to fill up with spots of 
stations I 
could not hear. In the past I thought I wanted this so I could 
see everyone 
on the band. But there are just too many spots now and the 
Bandmap is way 
too crowded which makes it nearly useless. CC Cluster works with 
both N1MM+, 
WriteLog and any other program that uses Telnet for Packetcluster 
spots.

Thanks to Dave for bringing it to my attention and thanks to Lee, 
VE7CC, for 
an outstanding cluster and for CC User. I will be using it for 
now on.
