A better approach is this tool from VE7CC.
http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/
It allows you to select the countries and even US states and VE
provinces from which you want to see spots. It's easy, for example, to
see only spots from your region, so that you see only what skip allows
your to work. Or, if you're a contester, you can choose to see spots
both from your region and at a distance from you, so that you can see
who in your region you can't hear thanks to skip, and who at even
greater distance may be using a frequency where you want to call CQ (in
a contest).
I'm in NorCal, and I choose to see spots from stations west of the
Rockies, from KH6 and KL7, and from MD, which gets me W3LPL, which tells
me where EU stations are running. The cluster I connect to is VE7CC-1,
which gets spots from the worldwide network, and allows me to see or
reject Skimmer spots. I've used this arrangement since someone turned my
on to it at least 15 years ago.

Your first choice to try are some of the more "open" clusters:
VE7CC-1
W3LPL
Part 2 is interpreting what you see. Since many DX Clusters report everything
they are sent worldwide, Log4OM is probably like other loggers in that there is
a way to limit what you see to a distance range circle around your locator. You
should consult the Log4OM docs for setting that parameter.
