The cluster panel allows you to display spots from the global DX Cluster network. The cluster is connected to other clusters (nodes) across the internet.

This allows you to be informed about any DX stations that are on-air that you may want to work.

Because the DX cluster is a global spotting network, you will probably want to do some filtering to see the spots that are relevant only to you. It makes little sense to see spots on HF between Europe and North America during our daytime, so filtering makes a lot of sense.

If you select all filters for all band, modes and zones (CQ Zones) you will see every single spot from across the cluster global network.

As an example, lets say you want to only see spots on 6m by stations in Asia who are working stations in Oceania.In this case you would select the 6m band button, the “AS” (Asia) zone button and the “OC” (Oceania) button and then click the “Apply” button.
