RCLDX: a modern DX cluster must be resilient by design

DX clusters should be open.
They should be fast.
They should be fair.

They should not depend on blind trust and manual firefighting.

---

We believe:

• Abuse is inevitable in any open system

• Insider threats are the hardest to handle

• Text streams are no longer sufficient

• Federation needs boundaries

• Moderation should be technical, not personal

• Security must be built in, not bolted on

---

We reject the idea that:

• “it has always worked” means “it will keep working”

• openness and control are opposites

• modernization equals centralization

• adding structure kills ham spirit

---

RCLDX exists to prove that:

• DX spotting can be global and resilient

• Communities can be autonomous and interconnected

• Trust can be social and technical

• Abuse can be contained without silencing everyone

---

This is not about replacing legacy clusters

It is about ending decades of known limitations.

---

This is not about distrusting radio amateurs

It is about protecting them from the consequences of unchecked abuse.

---

This is not the end of DX clusters

It is the next iteration.

---

RCLDX is not nostalgia.
RCLDX is infrastructure.
