The WA9PIE-2 Global DX Spotting Network is open to all ham radio operators.
A bit about the WA9PIE-2 Global DX Spotting Network: - It is hosted in the Google Cloud to enable a high-speed service that is highly reliable.
- This cluster node does not filter spots. I leave this up to the connected stations to decide what they wish to filter.
- This cluster node is directly connected to many DX cluster nodes around the world where more than 80% of the user created spots originate.
- 6 nodes in NA
- 8 nodes in EU
- 2 nodes in AS
- 1 node in SA
- 1 node in OC
- (There are no full-time cluster nodes in Africa or Antarctica.)
- As such, it is truly a "global spotting network." There is no need to maintain multiple connections to various DX cluster nodes or to wonder where the most up-to-date spots might come from. This has all been taken care of in the design of WA9PIE-2.
At any one time, there are roughly 6,000 ham radio operators connected to this network of nodes. |
