DX Cluster..No Self-spoting Please by YC0OST
In my point of view..not so many amateur radio in YB land are familiar with these online features made for inform any DX Stations are CQ-ing in spesific frequency and band.
Someone who was successfully calling some DX stations and made a QSO which probably because they have seen DX station data in the cluster. After all they are mostly confirmed into their online log (if available) such as LoTW (Logbook over The World), HRDLog.net, DXKeeper, Clublog etc.
Instead the DX stations or expeditions are being called or they are QRV in any mode or band even frequency..we could see and search their existence through the DX Cluster. In example, i will show few links for most popular cluster listed below :
Normally it needs few seconds for changing the data showing any DX stations are CQ-ing in every band..you could seen all of them neither just one band only with filtering menu. You also need to spoting the DX station in case probably to inform somebody else in the band who looked up some DX stations..
For DX Hunters like my elmers, OM Yongki YB0COU and OM Uun Saputra YB1UUN ..they hunted all bands seeking for rare entities every single day. Very tough guys! I admire them so gently because of their passion as a DXer off course
Anyhow for few more facts ..these cluster became ‘the selfie area’ and some DXer putting some harrashing comment down below of the cluster under Last Announces in example of DXWatch.com ..you could seen many of them currently are complaining and giving silly unnecessary comment.. and last but not a least..No Self-spoting yourself through the DX Cluster!
For some reason i can’t tell you why..but i usually read comments from DXers around the discuss group or forum..it is not wise to spoting yourself in the DX Cluster…they will call you as a Lid DX operators..sometimes they called you as an idiot one..hi
So it is not a mandatory rule for spoting your station to be called all around the world but if you gently enough to CQ-ing in many bands..they will keep calling you and feel the beat of pile-up for hours..!
The rest is yours..
Good DX-ing and enjoy it
