    LEXINGTON, Ky. - Raymond Sutler and friends had a "heck of a time" last night thanks to a website meant for posting reception of distant amateur radio stations. Sutler and his radio buddies weren't concerned with radio propagation, though.

    "One time, I saw Indonesia spotted on 20 meters but I needed him on 40," said Sutler. "So, I spotted him on the cluster and added a message asking him to please move to 40. And he did!"

    That was the inspiration for what happened yesterday. "I mean, if that station in Indonesia saw the message, I figured my friends would see messages, too," he said.

    Ham Hijinks obtained a screenshot of the messages, confirming that a beer night was, indeed, arranged on the DX Cluster:
