Agreed. I’m baffled as to how such a comparison could even be attempted. Honestly, the comparison is more like apples to dairy cattle.
People can (and do) operate without using a DX Spotting network and get along just fine. Other than a DX Cluster being used to possibly know who the DX is at the other end in advance (which has been a “thing” since even before Packet Clusters”), there is no part of a an actual signal ever depending on the Internet. Even using a Spotting Network for having a preview of who the op is chasing on the other end of a pileup requires listening first to make sure the spot was correct, legitimate, and that the DX was able to be heard when factoring in propagation. Or, put another way, any “dependency” on the Spotting Network ends as the op still has the responsibility for listening first to make sure they can hear the spotted DX. If you want something that requires the Internet as part of these modes, might I suggest using that “IMAGE” and “HTML” silliness already going on. Jim S.

Apples and oranges, at the very least. N0AN Hasan On Mon, Sep 10, 2018 at 12:58 AM Игорь Ч via wsjt-devel <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Laurie, .
