Andy, look at arcluster.reversebeacon.net port 7000 and 
telnet.reversebeacon.net port 7000.  These feeds are identical but the 
ARCluster V6 feed has provision for quality filtering by the CT1BOH 
algorithms if desired.

73, Pete N4ZR
Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at
http://reversebeacon.net,
blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.
For spots, please go to your favorite
ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.
