Hi John:

Number one I think these links will help you some..but here are hundreds of these clusters and links...but start here:

http://www.cpcug.org/user/wfeidt/Misc/cluster.html
http://www.cestro.com/pcluster/telnet.html
http://www.dx-central.com/

For your number two question I would start with this program ...it is very good and free...but one can do more than what is on the examples!!

Or you can always use other software to "roll" your own QSL:

For 1: You are looking for web-address?
Use any telnet cluster to be found under:
http://www.cestro.com/pcluster/telnet.html
or even http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs
Or do it with a log-software via packet/telnet/internet
For 2: Log software like before with good QSL management functions (even answering swl-cards) and possibility to import other logs via ADIF or plain ASCII.
My favorite is UCXlog (DL7UCX). Freeware! and for download under
http://www.funkstation.info
click software and dont forget the country.txt file

PS. It's version 3.33 in the download area. Actual one is V3.39 which I received yesterday. I can send you a zip file per e-mail (550 kB)
