[SECC] VE7CC questoins

[Tommy]

CC cluster is a little 'strange'. First, one of the things that does 
not yet work in CC cluster is mail, so you have to email Ernie 
direct. Second thing is in AR-User, the WWV spots do not show up on 
historical information, you have to wait until the next WWV 
announcement is made, and then the WWV window in the DX window will 
work. Third is when you set filters to pass only the CW bands, CC 
cluster will come back and tell you what bands are REJECTED! That 
confused the heck out of me, but it works. (Once you set your 
filters, as a test, log out of AR-User, then log back in and you 
should see only spots originated by K, VE.)

You can add KS4Q-1 to VE7CC's AR-User by clicking on 'Configuration', 
then Cluster (Telnet). A window will come up with 'Node', 'Add', 
'Exit'. You type KS4Q-1 and then click on 'Add'. When you click on 
'Add', the window changes and you now have space to put his address 
and port. Once you do that, click on 'Apply' and you have addded 
KS4Q-1 to the cluster data base.

KS4Q-1  Address: dx.ks4q.net:7373       You do not add anything to 'Port'.

Once you have done that, click on 'Configure', then Cluster (Telnet) 
and type KS4Q-1 in the 'Node' window, then click 'Exit'. KS4Q-1 
should appear in the 'Connect' window at the top of AR-User window.

Hope this helps.
