<br>
First, thanks for all the feedback I have received so far.<br>
I have not made any changes yet, but plan to start this weekend.<br>
<br>
I created a new web page for DX Cluster node status:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.dxcluster.info/telnet/dxcluster_status.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.dxcluster.info/<wbr>telnet/dxcluster_status.htm</a><br>
<br>
The status is still based on information from this web site:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.hamcluster.net/Map.aspx" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.hamcluster.net/Map.<wbr>aspx</a><br>
<br>
Note that the list of nodes used by <a href="http://hamcluster.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hamcluster.net</a> is *not* an exact copy<br>
of the list at <a href="http://dxcluster.info" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">dxcluster.info</a>. I am hoping that over time, this will get<br>
cleaned up.<br>
<br>
There several differences with the new status page:<br>
<br>
1. Both "up" and "down" nodes are listed. Nodes that were not reachable<br>
have a status of "0" and are shown in red. Nodes that were reachable<br>
at least once have a status which is the % (percent) of login attempts<br>
that were successful.<br>
<br>
2. Clicking on a callsign in the Node column (i.e. NZ1U-3) will take you<br>
directly to the submission page, so you can update the node information<br>
if it has changed.<br>
<br>
You can not remove a node yourself! Send E-mail to the address at the<br>
bottom of this message and tell me which node to remove.<br>
<br>
3. Clicking on an address in the Address column will attempt to open a Telnet<br>
connection to that node. Note that your computer needs to have a default<br>
Telnet application installed.<br>
<br>
I have started taking hourly snapshots of the DX Cluster node status from<br>
<a href="http://hamcluster.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hamcluster.net</a>. Each of these snapshots contains the results of the last<br>
four connection attempts. The status compiled at "26-Aug-2016 12:30"<br>
does *not* yet reflect this, but another one I post tomorrow will.<br>
<br>
I am still planning on removing the inactive nodes on or around September 15.<br>
This gives about three weeks for an off-line node to "show up". I am aware<br>
of the discussion about "part-time" vs. "full-time" nodes.<br>
<br>
Again, if you know of a DX Cluster node that is not listed, please do one of the<br>
following:<br>
<br>
1. contact the Sysop to have him/her submit their node information<br>
2. contact AD1C and he'll look into it<br>
<br>
Finally, thanks for your cooperation. If you have any quesitons, please ask!<br>
<br>
