<div>I was using the
VE7CC-1 Telnet cluster. However, during the entire contest, it would
disconnect every few minutes. I would then have to reconnect it to keep my

disconnects?</div></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>First, make sure in WtDxTelnet that you to check the box: Options | DxCluster Properties ... | Try to restore connection automatically.</div><div><br></div>
<div>As for why a telnet connection can be dropped, there are many possibilities, RFI on the line, poor Internet connection, poor WiFi connection, WiFi interference, server timeouts after inactivity, server dropping connections due to overload, etc.</div>
