## Cluster & QSO of Others
Separate window (can be minimised). Shows the communication flow between other stations – interesting during quieter contest periods.
## Global Message Tabs and Monitor Window
Three global message tabs are located below the main user list. Unlike the **Further Info** panel, their contents do not depend on the station currently selected.
| Tab | Displayed messages |
|---|---|
| **Public messages** | All public chat messages, including CQ calls and beacons |
| **DXCluster messages** | DX cluster messages received from the ON4KST server |
| **QSO of the other** | Directed messages between chat logins other than the local station |
The **Public messages** tab is selected by default.
![Global message tabs below the main user list](global_message_tabs.png)
The **DXCluster messages** table contains the time, reporting and reported stations, locators, QRG, message text and global Worked state where these values are available in the received message.
The **QSO of the other** table contains:
- the complete sender and receiver callsigns,
- the latest QRG currently known for each station,
- the global Worked state of each station,
- the message text, and
- the chat category.
The displayed QRG is not necessarily the frequency on which the stations intend to make a contact. It is the latest QRG currently associated with the respective chat member. The Worked state is global and not specific to the displayed QRG or band.
A directed chat message in this table does not prove that a radio QSO has taken place. The table also contains sked requests, frequency exchanges and other directed messages between third-party chat logins.
### Separate monitor window
The DX cluster and QSO-of-the-other tables can also be displayed together in a separate window.
![Separate monitor window for DX cluster traffic and directed messages between other stations](cluster_qso_monitor.png)
The separate window and the tabs use the same underlying messages. Hiding the window does not stop message processing or remove messages from the tabs.
Use **Windows → Hide cluster / stranger QSOs** to hide the window and **Windows → Show cluster / stranger QSOs** to restore it.
If a message is too long for its table cell, moving the mouse over the cell displays the complete text in a tooltip. Links beginning with `http://`, `https://` or `www.` can be opened in the system browser.
