A DX Cluster is a packet node where DX chasers on any band or mode can
post rare or interesting stations that they have worked or heard. Of
Of course, the DX is still posted to you all the while!

PacketCluster nodes have been around since roughly 1985. The original
PacketCluster idea came from Dick Newell, AK1A, and ran under DOS. In

You might not think that there is a lot of point of including a
section on how to log in and out of DXSpider. However, you would be

into the cluster and you will not have to do anything else.
Obviously, you will have to connect to the correct callsign. Some
nodes use an SSID with their call so you would have to add that.
- Examples:
+ \e[1mExamples:\e[0m
- 2.2. Netrom logins.
+ \e[1m2.2. Netrom logins.\e[0m
There are several possibilities here, dependant on how the sysop has
configured his system. If you are connecting via netrom then you are
most probably connecting from another station. Listing the nodes in

netrom alias to connect to. Then just issue the connect command from
there. It is possible that the netrom alias may connect you to a node
with an alias for the cluster, such as DXC. Just type this and you
will be connected.
- Example:
+ \e[1mExample:\e[0m
connect MBCDX
- 2.3. Telnet logins.
+ \e[1m2.3. Telnet logins.\e[0m
With telnet connections, the source callsign is not seen by DXSpider,
so you will be asked to login with your callsign. To telnet to

- 4.1. Receiving DX.
+ \e[1m4.1. Receiving DX.\e[0m
As we have already said, it is possible just to connect to the cluster
and you will receive spots automatically. However, you may wish to
check on spots just posted. Maybe you wish to see if a particular
band is open or if a certain callsign is active, perhaps a DXpedition.
- The command to do this is SHOW/DX. Without any other arguments, this
+ The command to do this is \e[1mSHOW/DX\e[22m. Without any other arguments, this
command will output the last 10 spots posted. It is possible to look
at more than this, for example the last 20 or 50 spots, by adding the
number to the command. You can make it even more specific by adding a
band in either wavelength or frequency, and/or any additional
information such as QSL details.
- Examples:
+ \e[1mExamples:\e[0m
will show the last 10, 5 and 20 spots received by the cluster
respectively.
- Examples
+ \e[1mExamples\e[0m
It is also possible to check for certain callsigns, or fragments of
callsigns in the same way.
- Examples:
+ \e[1mExamples:\e[0m
You can check for DX by offset and also by specifying a comment to
search for.
- Examples:

comment is not important.
Checking DX posted on a certain day is possible too. All you have to
do here is to specify how many days ago it was like this ...
- Example:
+ \e[1mExample:\e[0m
It is of course possible to specify multiple arguments.
- Example:
+ \e[1mExample:\e[0m
show/dx 20 prefix 9a on vhf day 30

prefix 9a on vhf 30 days ago.

details. They use your entered location as a reference, so if you
have not entered it or have entered it incorrectly they will not
return the correct information.

used to show sunrise and sunset times for your own station, a
particular callsign or a prefix.
- Example:
