Graph QSO

Post by S54M »

Hi Colin,

a very useful feature (but almost impossible) will be graphical representation of last 10 QSO-s from DXcluster (with both WW locators) on Europe (or World, or adjusted) map.

Best regards,

Maki S54M, N1MZ

Hi Maki

Thanks for the interest, it would indeed be an interesting feature, but I see many difficulties with this.....
There is no standard input into the DXCluster 'Comments' so Locators/Grids do not always have the correct meaning e.g.
50100 N1MZ "599 in JN75" <S54M>
Would have different meaning to
50100 N1MZ "599 FN31" <S54M>
until there is the discipline on the cluster input then I feel this would give misleading results.
Furthermore there is the problem that cluster spots are coming worldwide and it does not always mean that they are always working each other (and self spotting seems very common), so perhaps results would not always be meaningful and would the considerable effort required to impliment this feature be worth it?.

Perhaps the situation will improve in the future.
