AR Cluster DX Page 1 of 8 DX Spots AR Cluster V6 Telnet User Manual DX spots share important information about amateur radio stations such as their callsign operating frequency date time and an optional comment This information is valuable for amateurs chasing rare countries or operating in contests DX Spots are shared across the various DX clusters and users connected to the clusters By being connected into a DX Cluster you will get DX spots in real time as they are spotted You can also query the cluster for past DX spots Note if you have DX filters active they will also be applied to both the real time spots and past spot queries For the ultimate in DX spot presentation and filtering check out the new AR Cluster Client application Demo at http www youtube com watch v 7tq5j20kXuo Please use DX spots to spot information relating to real propagation reports of operating stations or beacons Do not use DX spots to pass comments Command delimiters can either be a or a space as show dx show dx Real Time DX Spots As soon as you connect into a DX Cluster you will automatically start receiving DX spots These spots can be filtered based on individual preferences The Set DX commands allow the optional filtering of the spots and control of the spots display Spotting DX The DX command is used to post a DX spot The syntax options are shown below Example dx frequency callsign optional comment dx callsign frequen
