[VHFcontesting] 432 Sprint and Spotting

[Walt Murphy]

  For those that use DxClusters on HF this is not news but for those that 
have little
or no knowledge of the Clusters most if not all allow filters to be set to 
let the user see only
spots he is interested in.

  In my case on a DxSpider node I can set a filter so only spots on 50 MHz 
and above are
received by the user. Not knowing all cluster software I cannot specify what 
filters exist
on other Cluster software packages but it is worth investigating.
