Good morning list and Gregor,
As english is not my mother language, sometimes I feel that I am not
able to understand it well enough, and after reading the message from
Gregor DB5SSB, I have some doubts about what's going on, and I would
want to be sure I understood it.
So, Gregor, I think you said that you are licensed to use DO5SSB
callsign. What about DB0SUE?
A quick search on the Internet drove me to:
https://www.bavarian-contest-club.de/2024/09/aus-dem-dx-cluster-db0sue-wird-da0bcc/
At this web page, the Bavarian Contest Club informs that on 2024-09-10
DB0SUE server was closed -as communicated by its sysop, Kalle DK2ZZ-
Also, the BCC stated that Fabian DJ5CW would manage the cluster in the
future, using the call DA0BCC at dx.da0bcc.de:7300.
Also I found the following post of the CQ-Contest list:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/2024-09/msg00016.html
In this one, Chris DL1MGB sent a similar info, saying that a hardware
crash made Kalle decide finally to stop DB0SUE operations, as was his
previous intention. He also stated that Fabian DJ5CW will manage the
substitute cluster server as dx.da0bcc.de
Finally, on your post you said that you have bought db0sue.de domain
(previously being used by BBC DB0SUE server).
So, trying to understand all this, my questions are:
Have you contacted the DB0SUE-7 previous partners communicating all
these changes?
Are you connecting to previous DB0SUE-7 partner servers login yourself
as DB0SUE-7 and not as your own callsign DO5SSB?
Have you contacted the Bavarian Contest Club to let them know all this?
Sorry about all these questions, I hope they will clarify this matter
for once.
Thanks and 73,
Mikel EA2CW
P.D.
Before certain IPs were proposed to be banned on the list, I was able to
see some weird traffic on the cluster net, such as this on the last days:
