[Dx4win] Wish for next version DX4Win

Paul,

Would it be possible for the next version of DX4Win to include a way to
reject spotters by callsign?

The reason I ask is because the clusters themselves can't do such a
filter. I tried to reject the skimmer spots by W3LPL. The only way to do
it was to use CC-user program which does not do much else with DX Spider
nodes (what DX4Win can't do).

After messing up my filters at my DX Spider node with CC-user I settled
rejecting spots by zone 5 and uninstalled the CC-user. I will miss 1/3
of the US IOTA spots but the life is much easier...

I have a feeling there will be more of these skimmer spotters (until the
cluster system crashes), so it would be good to be able to reject
several callsigns.

By the way, I have nothing against skimmers if they stay in the Reverse
Beacon Network.

Thanks for the attention,

Erkki OH2BF
