Part of the problem here was the setting up of node partners without asking first and getting things badly messed up. <br />
<br />
For example, you set a connection to my node without asking and it was set wrongly so it was never going to work. <br />
<br />
I don’t know how many others were incorrectly set up like that. <br />
<br />
I still saw db0sue listed as active on hamcluster just a few days ago. <br />

<br />
First of all, I would like to apologize if I caused any confusion or<br />
Problems. That was never my intention.<br />
<br />
Over 2 years ago, I set up a DXSpider node to participate in the DX cluster.<br />
For a long time, it ran without any significant traffic, it was actually<br />
just for me.<br />
<br />
Some time ago, I also tried to get on this mailing list, but unfortunately<br />
without success. Now I'm here.<br />
<br />
My own call sign is DO5SSB, the node has DO5SSB-2. When I found out from<br />
Kalle, DK2ZZ, that DB0SUE-7's server was broken and he couldn't continue to<br />
operate it, I wrote to him to take it over. Unfortunately, no response.<br />
<br />
Then, a few months later, I saw the domain "db0sue.de" for sale, which I<br />
bought for $100 to continue his work with honor. I "unfortunately" used the<br />
call sign DB0SUE-7 without knowing that it leads to such problems in the<br />
DXSpider software.<br />
<br />
The operator of SR4DXC (my first link) pointed out to me that there are<br />
problems and that they are being discussed here.<br />
<br />
After I got on the list here, I followed the emails and blocked nodes that<br />
connect to "db0sue.de". So for several weeks there should have been no<br />
traffic with this DB0SUE-7 call sign.<br />
<br />
I run the cluster myself because I work in a data center and have the<br />
necessary resources and enough redundancy to keep it running.<br />
<br />
The traffic that comes from the IP 82.149.227.228 (mine) is valid and does<br />
not have to be set as "bad IP".<br />
<br />
The call sign "DO5SSB-2" is also valid and belongs to me, as you can see on<br />
the BNetzA website.<br />
<br />
So again, I'm sorry for causing so much confusion and problems, it wasn't my<br />
intention. I just wanted to keep the DX cluster alive, as the old DB0SUE-7<br />
node was on the net for a long time and reliably.<br />
<br />
Regarding the comment that I have so many links, yes, they are also set up<br />
correctly and I use my own call sign correctly. So it's not a problem, I think.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, everything should now run smoothly and I'm happy to be able<br />
to give my part back to the Ham Radio community.<br />
<br />
Hope for good teamwork in the future!<br />
<br />
BTW. I created a replacement for the SHOW/CONTEST function, but I will write<br />
about that in another mail.<br />
