[Dx4win] Fw: Re: Ignoring Screen spots - Filter Example (Correction)

[R.T.Liddy]

Slight correction on the Filter Setting..... NO space between W3LPL and -3.
 
This is the correct Filter:
 

SET DX FILTER ( Cty <> K and Cty <> VE ) AND ( SpotterCty = K Or SpotterCty = VE ) AND SPOTTER <> W3LPL-3

FYI....
 
Here is the Filter I use on my local AR-Cluster ( KQ8M.NO-IP.ORG )
which is running Version 6 :
 
SET DX FILTER ( Cty <> K and Cty <> VE ) AND ( SpotterCty = K Or SpotterCty = VE ) AND SPOTTER <> W3LPL -3
 
This is what it does......
 
It excludes K & VE stations from being spotted  AND
It supplies spots only from K & VE stations  AND
It excludes all spots from a "certain" spotter.
 
Hope this helps users on newer AR-Clusters.

P.S.  The exclusion of the K & VE stations being spotted is to
         avoid seeing Skimmer spots of domestic CQ'ers.  It's easy
         to turn them back ON during domestic Contests.

Jerry,
 
The Node I use has VERY flexible filters. I have had the "certain" spotter's
un-hearable spots completely eliminated. The Node allows me to filter
by Continent, Spotter, Country, etc., etc., etc.
 
AND, the Node has Skimmers which can be turned on/off at will and set
to only spot by numerous criteria.  It's pretty new and absolutely great!!
 
Everyone should give it a try!!  It's  KQ8M.NO-IP.ORG
 
It's run by Tim KQ8M who is a long-time DX-er and Contester and he
bends over backwards to accomodate the Users' needs.
 
Tim will help you set up a Filter customized for you.  Once you have
it, you can possibly use it on your regular Cluster.
 
73/GL,    Bob K8BL

If someone knows how to set this in AR-Cluster I would very much appreciate 
a response to get this setup.  Like George, I find a certain spotter 
annoying because 90% of the time I can't hear what he spots.
