ATCluster is a program made exclusively for Alfa Tango Member in good standing in the Gruppo Radio Italia Alfa Tango.
Main purpose of this program is to create automatically the spot that has to be sent to the ATCluster; ONLY spots about interesting Dx worked or listened should be sent to the Cluster!

The user is, at the same time, submitter of his/her own DX-spots and receiver of other users' spots.

All this, of course, in real time in your mailbox, or on your GSM cellphone (if you have an account that allows SMS-GSM notification)!

This new Version of ATCluster keeps all the well-tested features of previous versions but, also, introduces a great new feature: it can interact with the Alfa Tango's Official Web Site http://www.alfatango.org, where the main spots' Database sits.
This Database will grow day by day as it is fed with all users' spots.

The Database is, of course, open to all visitors of the Web Site that will be able to take advance of very useful, real-time DX information.

Please read this rules carefully...
