[WriteLog] Telnet vs Packet Cluster

[Bruce Ferry]

For me, the telnet cluster works better because I have trouble actually 
reaching any of the area RF packet clusters. The telnet cluster looks 
identical to the RF variety. If you have Cable or DSL internet access 
then it's the way to go.

If your RF cluster works fine for you I would continue to use it (unless 
you were working a VHF contest with 2 meters). If it marginal access or 
sometimes looses connection with the rest of the packet cluster world 
then the telnet cluster is the way to go. Try: telnet://pktw8gn.apk.net
