<br>
you are right. Sorry for the incorrect info, I didn't check the
signature. I'm always too optimistic. <br>
<br>
As the owner of a targeted node, I see an increase of conencted
users. From the technical point, I have no problem with them as end
users. They do not cause any harm, extra load (thanks to a broadband
connection), etc. The ethical part is another thing. <small>José
Alberto Nieto Ros, tha author is simply hijackin</small>g an
existing infrastucture developped for other purpose. <br>
<br>
Anyhow, it is an interesting solution and seems to be popular.<br>
<br>
Back to the core issue, time to time there are applications appear
using the DXCLUSTER network as a data transfer media for something
else, however HAM radio related. A while ago there was a
Scandinavian contest or logging application if I'm right and for
sure will be more.<br>
<br>
Forget the emotional part, what is wrong with them (and ROS)? Most
of the ordinary spots are generated by not humans but logging
software on a similar way. The difference is that they are adding
some application specific data to the comment field. <br>
<br>
If these applications are HAM related (aka propagation, heard
stations, QSO's) and they are not overloading or abusing the network
one or other way, why not?<br>
<br>
Once again, I'm talking about the technical aspect and policy, not
ethical or communication.<br>
<br>

<tt><big>Hi Bela,<br>
<br>
That email was not from the ROS developer, just a Ham that has
been
trying to get the message out to ROS users to stop the
Auto-Spots.<br>
<br>
<b>NO, The War is not over.</b><br>
<br>
The software still leaves auto-spot ON by default. The
developer is
still dropping old Spider Nodes as they become unusable and
adds new
nodes. His clear intent is to continue to auto-spot the
Cluster.<br>
<br>
These are the Spider Nodes that are hard-coded within the
latest
release (4.8.5) of the software
<br>
US6IQ-1
<br>
9A0CSI
<br>
9A0DXC
<br>
UA4CC
<br>
SM0RUX-6
<br>
BD5RV
<br>
JA9IPF
<br>
IW9FRA-6
<br>
HA5DI-5
<br>
<br>
Currently (7 day period), ROS spots are about 6.5% of all
Cluster
spots, with 98.5% being auto-generated.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
following message was sent around by ROS author:<br>
<br>
<hr size="2" width="100%">In the newest versions 483 484 485 the
autospotfunction can be switched off<br>
You find the switch in sked/cluster tab<br>
After intallation the function is set to on<br>
But as we have now the reports on the psk reporter map we need
no
autospots<br>
anymore ... so please switch it off<br>
Tnx<br>
Dg9bfc<br>
