[aprssig] Is DXCluster still used?

[Robert Bruninga]

The original APRSdos had DX cluster modes in it .



See http://aprs.org/APRS-docs/DXCLUSTR.TXT



There might be something useful in there.

If so, where can one find the radio protocol specification for it? I'm
trying to get ready to support the Boy Scouts' Jamboree On The Air, and
would like to have a way of finding them some "good" stations to talk to
(not being an experienced HF DXer myself). So I can use all the help I can
get.



I can see APRS packets that look like



>151803zDX: KV3B-2 14mi 313° 18:01 3857.05N 07652.41W



but how do I interpret this? Which station is the DX, and what frequency
are they on?



Are there other packet format within APRS for DXcluster reports? Are other
non-APRS packet protocols for DXcluster documented anywhere?



Thanks in advance.
