Speaking of filtering, I've noticed some of the telnet nodes use AR-
Cluster, not the original Packet CLuster. ANyone know a Web site
with docs on how to set AR-Cluster filters?
I agree that filtering spots, by mode and/or band segment
(frequency already partially implemented with out-of-band QSOs
labelled with a B), within Writelog would be a great feature.
Tnx,
