Unusual call
 
I QSO'd 2B8CF listed as in England last night. QRZ.com did not locate
more specifically.

What's up with this unusual call for the UK?

3B8CF, not 2B8CF

Yes, I thought of that...Mauritius? on 40M? That would be cool.
However, it took a long time to copy this station...over and over I
copied 2B not 3B. And QRZ.com does list the 2B8 call as located in
England...near London on the MacLoggerDX map.

Is it possible to have a 2B8 call in the UK? or is it certain that it
was 3B8 in the Indian Ocean?

Thanks for helping a "newbie" ham

I'm pretty convinced you worked 3B8CF.

That's not too important to me right now. Could someone explain
clusters to me and where to find them? I have MacLoggerDX if that helps.

http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs is one of a number of places to look, you
can use your regular web browser. It's a gateway to a network where
people can report what DX they're hearing on what frequency.

By the way, I concur with the other posters - I'd be pretty sure it was
in fact 3B8CF you were hearing. He's really got a fantastic signal,
showing up in places & at times where nobody else from that part of the
world is around.
