K1TTT said "There are several of them around already. Some clubs have limited
access to
some of their nodes and implemented their own filtering. That does not solve
the packet
pileup or enable stations to opt out of being spotted obviously since there is
still the
wide open big network."
Yes, agree - having a closed spotting network with authenticated users and
limited node connectivity does not address
G3SXW's issue of the madness of being spotted. That technological horse is out
of the barn and ain't going back in.
There is no perfect solution, but there are a lot better solutions than what we
have now. The world that existed when
AK1A wrote the cluster software is very different. It is just like the Internet
- when all the protocols were developed it was
a much smaller, more civilized world. Today we have to have firewalls and
passwords and all kinds of closed connections
to keep it being useful.
