[MiQP-Mail] Question about DX Clusters for MIQP

[Hank Greeb]

Dave, et. al:

I read that use of DX Clusters, etc., are verboten for assistance for 
Single Op stations for MiQP.

Question:  Is it permissible tot send a spot TO a DX cluster so someone 
can find a rare county, if one shuts off incoming spots at the entry 
point for the DX cluster network?  I've heard there's a way to turn off 
the incoming spots from my favorite DX Cluster, and will pursue details 
if it won't get me into trouble when operation SOAB QRP.

I realize this would be impossible to verify from afar.  However, I do 
know that a few times when N8Q was spotted during MiQP and OQP last 
year, there was a semi-pileup because I was in a very rare county, so 
others might benefit if I found a usually rare county and put it on the 
DX cluster network..  I thought I'd find a way into the internet in 
HENRy County because they have Village wide WiFi in McClure, but, ALAS, 
it was impossible to subscribe unless I had a permanent address in the 
village.  (In OQP, use of spotting networks is permissible, so I was 
anticipating the ability to learn about rare counties, etc., and help by 
spotting rare counties I found.)

This year in MECOsta County I'll be in a location with superspeed hard 
wired internet.  I could spot various rare counties if this were 
permissible, presuming I can figure out how to stop incoming spots from 
the cluster.
