Attached File https://holycluster.iarc.org/ This is an interesting DX Cluster website I found that I thought might be useful for the group. |

I'm happy others are finding it as useful as I do. I have been using the Alert and Show Only feature the most. I really does help me zero in on DX i need to work the most. |

Anybody know if The Holy Cluster has a telnet address? or QRZCQ DX Cluster has a telnet address? or any other major use DX cluster. My Apache Labs radio can put spots of the waterfall but I need telnet addresses of the clusters to get those spots on the waterfall. I have some and it works, but don't have any of the big names, just individual ham clusters and am looking for multiple sources to make the data more complete. |

You don't like Ernst's OE3IDE Cluster software? |

You don't like Ernst's OE3IDE Cluster software? ETA: that is neat, it maps out the DX on a map as a background image of the waterfall / scope display but you still need telnet address's to dx clusters to get the data. I do not like graphic displays behind the waterfall / scope, it is too busy for me. I just want more DX to show up on the display compared to what I am getting now. |

Attached File Is that enough spot for you? This is what you want it connects to all the telenet clusters in parallel. https://www.oe3ide.com/cluster-tci-bridge/ If you haven't joined the Thetis Discord server I highly recommend that you do. Lot of activity with 3rd party stuff and Thetis. DM me if you want an invite. |

Thanks for reaching out. “The Holy Cluster” is actually connected to multiple telnet servers simultaneously, primarily for redundancy and reliability. In practice, most telnet servers are highly interconnected and continuously share spots data with each other. This means that regardless of the specific server you connect to, the information you receive is essentially identical in the vast majority of cases. Because of this, selecting a specific one typically doesn’t provide a meaningful difference in the data, while the current setup ensures better availability and stability. That said, we can certainly consider adding more flexibility in the future if there’s a specific use case that would benefit from it. Do you have one in mind? 73, Gil 4Z1KD / KO6GBU "The Holy Cluster" dev team. The reply I received about Telnet with Holy Cluster. |

I am going to email him and see if the holy cluster has a telnet address I can put into thetis |

TCI is connected to the thetis server, lots of spots on the TCI map and listing, they just do not show up in thetis TCI says radio is connected |

Here is a video interview with one of the developers of the Holy Cluster. It is behind the scenes type of discussion with the developer, and provides some insight as to what they are looking at for the future.  Is This The Ultimate DX Cluster? | Inside Holy Cluster with 4X1XP |
| I think it would be perfect if there was an option to make the world map flat. It is too hard to see what the country is when it's curved. I understand the world, I would rather see the counties flat install of skewed into a round ball. |

I understand the world, I would rather see the counties flat install of skewed into a round ball. I think the map helps if you use a directional antenna, but I would also like the flat map option too. |

That looks very cool. Though - windows only for the CAT control add on. I may be missing something - does this do something DXLabs or HamRadioDeluxe or MacLoggerDX or some of the other radio control / spotting / DX cluster software doesn't do? |
