[Dx4win] Is there a blacklist feature for Cluster spots?

[Barry]

Pete - I believe, until recently, they were from around the world, as 
the band and times made no sense for US stations - even for LPL antennas.

Kurt -  You are missing something.  Many of us keep DX4Win on in the 
background with an audio alert set for new band-countries.  It's very 
annoying when these spots alert us to something that doesn't exist in 
our part of the world.
