Well we stirred the DX pot (NG) a bit with discussions of clusters, nets,
lists et al

But a parting thought for new DXers

Don't waltz into your local DX club to join and tell em you worked your DX
on nets, lists and solely by cluster
You will get frowns, boo's, and stares fer sure.

But I use the clusters and spot to them. But absolutely no DX nets or lists
Not even for a P5 which is one of the 9 that I still need (;-)

I tend to agree. But I can see a use for a cluster (either internet or
packet). It makes it real easy to find the DX. Just hunt for the pileup.

I still find it best to find the DX before the sharks start to swirl tho.
