How many chasers use the DX Cluster to find SOTA activations?

On the Bands Operating Procedures

I have a ruinning argument with a fellow activator. He uses the DX Cluster exclusively for self-spotting on a SOTA activation. I tell him he would be more productive placing a spot on SOTA-dedicated spotting tools (such as an Alert).

It comes down to this: Chasers: how many of you follow the DX cluster?

I myself never do – I stiek exclusively to the SOTA tools.

Many dxcluster nodes actually prohibit (or ignore) selfspotting so from my point of view sotawatch is the right place and audience.

If one of the chasers spots me on the Cluster this can be fun as it attracts more stations.

Will it work via the cluster. Sure. It there a preferred way: yes it`s sotawatch.
