Cluster Effect

I've been making casual contacts of late, which I haven't done in years. I guess it's because I got the WARC dipole back up and 17 m is a pretty calm band, relatively speaking.

I've been doing the QSOs the real way, tuning around and answering CQs. Today, I answered a GI station that was calling and had a nice chat with Victor in Omagh. My PC is set up for logging, etc, via DXLab Suite, and I noticed that he hadn't been spotted. He seemed to be interested in working more stations, so I spotted him.

Never fails. Next time he finished up, he had a small pile-up.

I've done that a few times now and it amuses me no end. If you can watch the cluster for spots, you can post spots, too. Sheesh.
