Hi Guys
Since I am digging into a few things, one of my users was sending a
set/location about every 15 seconds
and then a show/heading for every spot.
It turns out it was HAMCLOCK which seems really chatty.

I'm glad you brought this topic up. I have been planning to voice my
opinion. What you tolerate as a SysOp is completely up to your individual
threshold level. But, I have basically outlawed any user on my nodes from
connecting if using HamClock. At one point, I had 6 users running the
software 24/7. I refer to this software as a "resource hog" because of how
much data it requests for every spot, then resends the users Name, QTH and
QRA every 15-30 seconds (which is probably the default). I have a modest
computer and cable modem setup for the cluster and home network usage. If
the connected user callsign appears like this (AA4U), they are probably
using HamClock. I will usually ask the user to connect to a larger scale
node, after explaining why it's a resource hog.
YMMV !!!
