          class="mw-parser-output">Vereeniging van Arbeiders Radio
          Amateurs" then, that became a progressive Dutch "omroep" in
          the Dutch TV/Radio system. They produced some pretty good TV
          programs too. <br>
          <br>
          But I see it is a development by the ROSMODEM chap. When that
          first appeared it caused quite a few problems on the network
          as it was using a lot of cluster node bandwidth. But it all
          settled down reasonably well. That system used the chat
          facility in DXSpider, and I would expect the new system to do
          the same for its beaconing, rather than using spots. DX Spots
          are NOT the place for mode specific *automatic* beaconing,
          signal reports that are specific to the operation of VARA. <br>
          <br>
          As the author is, I believe, Spanish I wonder whether one of
          our Spanish users could have a word with him(?) and remind him
          that 'chat' is the way to go.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks<br>
