[Dxspider-support] Node Partners for SWL cluster?

[Brendan Minish]

Dirk 

I have peered with Stefano, we have both set each other as isolated and
he's getting a feed from me. 

The issues as I see it is that originating calls will not necessary fit
in with the filtering logic that many users have set up as the DXCC /
Zone mapping is based on callsigns. There are also potential effects on
other software & logging programs with calls that may not conform to the
norm.   

Other than that I think it's an excellent  idea to have a SWL cluster,
(even a SWl cluster network if there was sufficient interest) if there
were more than one SWL cluster then they could of course propagate spots
with each other with no impact on the existing cluster network.

If the consensus is that SWL spots should be propagated then we can
remove the isolation between us .

Out of interest
How would Dxspider cope with the likes of Utility and broadcast dx
'spots' this might be a really nice thing to have for SWl's who (like
myself at times) have an interest in goings on outside of the amateur
bands. I guess a new band mappings would be needed but what other
adaptations would be required
