About VHFDX.EU
The DXCluster of VHFDX.EU is running on DXSpider by Dirk Koopman, G1TLH. The access to the webcluster data is done in a simple and easy way in order to get a quick overview of the activity on the bands. If you require a more "featured based" webcluster, you will find some around in the net. Due to piracy, the possibilty to send formatted DXCluster spots via VHFDX.EU is only available after registration. Please see below for details how to register at VHFDX.EU.
VHFDX.EU supports and recommends the use of so called formatted DXCluster spots. Spots which are not properly formatted can't be shown in the map. To keep this kind of service running, I kindly ask you to send only spots in a standard format like JN58MI<ES>KO89HK to the DXCluster. Thank you!
DXCluster Map
VHFDX.EU provides a quick overview map of the latest "Formatted" DXcluster spots for each 2m, 6m, 4m, 70cm and 23cm band. The data is reloaded every 120s. If you want to send formatted spots to the DXCluster from VHFDX.EU, feel free to register at VHFDX.EU.
MUF Map
Based on DXCluster / LiveMUF data, an experimental MUF Map of Europe is available. The data is automatically refreshed. Please note that this map is still under development and may change.

The data shows by default the latest 10 VHF spots and is reloaded automatically every 60s. The direct link is https://vhfdx.eu/dxc10.php.

The easiest way to use this on your own page is to use an iframe.The html code could look like this:

And would show on your page like this:
If your space width is limited, you could use another example which is only half of width, by skipping the remarks column. The direct link is https://vhfdx.eu/dxc10s.php. All other options are the same as explained above. The html code could look like this:
<iframe src="https://vhfdx.eu/dxc10s.php?b=2m" width="282px" height="223px" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
