OM0RX xCluster
Live DX-cluster activity, classified against your logbook so new calls, bands and opportunities are easier to find.
macOS 13+Published macOS build

Built around the operator
The spotting desk.
xCluster connects to one or more DX clusters and turns their spots into a readable operating list. Bands, modes, continents and worked-before state can be combined with configurable colours and special-reference tags.
The application reads an xLog or RUMlogNG logbook without writing to it. A callsign opens previous-QSO evidence; a deliberate spot handoff can pass operating details to the configured logging and radio workflow.
In the workspace

Portable references

xLog handoff
A local classified snapshot feeds xLog maps while retaining the chosen filters and semantic colours.
