To search for rare countries or simply monitor activity on bands, DX clusters operating via the Telnet protocol are traditionally used. The advantage is low traffic consumption and low system requirements. The disadvantage is control using console commands and the lack of a graphical user interface. I found a successful solution that combines the advantages of a Telnet cluster and a graphical shell - a program from VE7CC.

The program from VE7CC is a graphical client of the DX cluster of the same name. Allows flexible control over the presentation of information, including various filters (band, country or even frequency range). It is possible to connect a CW skimmer, then automatic “spots” will be displayed based on the results of listening to the air in CW mode.

The program works on Windows and Linux (in Wine). You only need to specify a monospace font in the settings - for example, Courier New.

Below are screenshots showing the wonderful capabilities of this program from VE7CC:

Also, the program allows you to send spots (notifications about the operation of radio stations) through its interface.
When you first start, there is a simple registration - call sign, city and WW locator.
To connect to the DX cluster you need to click the "Connect" button.

All that remains is to thank the author from Canada, Leslie Gene Sawkins VE7CC, for creating this program.
