Hi all - I've just been alerted to the appearance of a lot of FT8 spots on the regular DX cluster network.  I don't know if these are being passed on from PSKReporter, or coming directly from the spotting stations.  The spotters' callsigns have "-#" appended. so they look like RBN spots, but the frequencies given are evidently FT8 dial frequencies +/- the audio offset, like 14074.6. The RBN's spots are dial frequency only.

I'd like to know more about how this is being done, and to get in touch with the responsible party to discuss how we can coordinate.

73, Pete N4ZR

I'm certainly not forwarding spots to the DX cluster network. However,
somebody did build a cluster interface to the pskreporter spots
(cluster.dl9gtb.de) although it appears not be running at the moment.
