Why oh why do some people post on the DX Cluster every FT8 station they have heard?
One GM station this evening posted 21 stations . . . none of them were even DX ! I don't even see why you would post ANY on the DX Cluster . . . I thought the whole point of FT8 is that you leave your computer listening on the same frequency, so surely any stations will just come up on the screen? Whereas posting the frequency of a CW or SSB DX station on the Cluster is really useful to help people find those stations, and attempt a QSO. Also . . . as others have said, DX propagation is still pretty good on 160m most nights . . . but despite lots of CQ calls by myself and other EU stations, we're often getting no replies!
