The OH2AQ cluster is a marvelous tool for DXers,

But it's a kludy interface, and the guys who run it, whomever
they are, have NEVER been responsive to anyone using it.

Bill, there are hundreds of cluster nodes you can telnet to,
spots are real time, you have filter options on some of them,
and most of them are up all the time (with the exception of
contest weekends, when the whole network chokes & croaks).

OH2AQ is feed by telnet clusters, so anything you see there
you'll see it somewhere else first.

Any spots you see on the web cluster you'll see on the
telnet nodes also.

Here's a list of 100 or so to get you started:

I run two nodes which are on the list and you are welcome to
use them if you'd like.

The only suggestion I'd make is DON'T use the Windows telnet
program, it's garbage, get another telnet program like NetTerm,
or use the interface in your logging software if it has one.
