Hi all,

A remark on Eric's remarks:

When I was a DX myself and a frequent spot on clusters,
I never realized the possible benefits of a pile-up suddenly
growing from 50 to 500. On the contrary, I think I often
had reason to question the virtue of clusters. I know that
they are here to stay, but clusters do not always provide
sunshine at the DX end.

AMOF, I tend to agree with Roy's dog & CB radio metaphor.
I'd rather do the sniffing myself.

73,
