Cluster Ignore Frequency List

[NW7US]

In the spotting cluster dialog, is it possible to have an IGNORE FREQUENCY LIST such that each entry in the list is ignored? Probably with some tolerance up 500 Hz and down 500 Hz... maybe. The issue is that the NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Project frequencies should be excluded from spots showing anything on those frequencies.

Seconding this recommendation. There should be an option to not display these beacon stations.

During LOG4OM startup, I do see a message "Loading cluster ignore list". but I have been unsuccessful in locating this utility, nor a file on my computer that would be a likely location for these callsign / frequency combinations.

Can someone please assist?

John,

Most clusters have a command your submit to either pass or reject (block) certain spots. IE: blocking FTxx spots, beacons, etc..

For example Lee Sawkins provides a command for the CC User APP that we users can use to pass or reject spots. Check there for such as well.

I know that Lee is working on some programming for his CC User and CC Cluster APPs as the beacon spot folks have been changing things and they have become more prevalent over the past couple of months. Kind of like a "whack a mole".

As for your startup message I'm pretty sure that relates to your 'tic option' that you made at: Settings / Program Configuration / Cluster ... Once I modify some cluster I select "Show User Defined clusters"

Whichever works best for your operating is perfectly fine.

Tomas,

I make pass/reject of frequencies in CC User for the various clusters I monitor from Lee's node.

I think that would be the best approach to have that management done at the source rather than having Log4OM V2 manage it, but who knows? Lele might consider such.

Use cluster server filter commands - see the DXSpider filter guide

No point in us spending valuable time re coding the software to do something the cluster servers already provide
