For the last couple of years, I have copied all my contest and pseudo-contest QSOs (like CWTs) from MM to DXKeeper monthly. N1MM has a function for generating a single ADIF file from all contests sinc

The author of AR Cluster V6, AB5K, passed away several years ago, shortly after adding the CT1BOH skimquality filters. http://www.k3lr.com/w9zrx/AR-Cluster%20Filter%20Commands.pdf is the most complete

The list of CW and RTTY spotters (which is dynamic) is available to everyone, washed or not, on the RBN website at http://beta.reversebeacon.net. You can see who's connected now and look back 30 days

Or the compromise, as I have suggested, which is to filter for spots only from spotters in your "neighborhood." 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at <http://beta.revers

Yes, but all 3 predominant cluster software packages incorporate a variety of filtering, as well as internal routines to catch many of those busted calls before they get to users. For example, I use a

See https://reversebeacon.blogspot.com/2022/01/where-to-get-rbnspots-for-users-in-last.html. There are over 100 clusters carrying RBN CW and RTTY spots, and over 15 (listed in the article) that carry
