[SCCC] Telnet Packetclusters

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Thanks Art and all others that responded today (Jim, Bob, Bill and Charles).

I tried out the N7US cluster and discovered the VE7CC Windows based 
software.  Great stuff!  One thing I can't find and do wish for is to limit 
(filter) spots to those from a specific area or state.  With the software, 
it is easy to limit the spots listed to country or state but I can't find a 
way to filter the spots to only see those from certain spotting areas.  That 
is, if I want to only see spots from California hams (any DX they happen to 
spot), I cannot seem to do so.  That would be nice because it really doesn't 
do me much good to see a spot from CN8SG reporting a CU2 on 160 meters 
during west coast daylight hours (for example).

If anyone has any tips, I am all ears!

(BTW, I had no idea 18 MHz was such a hot DX band until now!)
