[Dx4win] Controlling Packet Cluster

[Tim moore]

But my original reply works the same way.  I've had mine set to filter by
callsign/area for decades like I replied to you originally. You prefer
zones....but as I noted....it was right where I told you to look. And yes,
it works perfectly.  I also have it filtering in the spot window by color
to only show new bands/modes I haven't worked or confirmed. And no FT8
spots,  thank you very much. Even in the CQ WW....while the packet cluster
window is rolling with hundreds of spots, my spot window remains empty for
hours.  Like I said,  I've been filtering like this for a couple of
decades.  And I've worked over 300 countries on most bands and modes....so
I'm never going to see many new spots I need anymore!

Yes, many wrong calls spotted.  Some over and over again.  Like EP2A (Iran)
on 40 meters.  Over and over....even though I and others continually spot
the correct call....IP2A (Italy ). Copying code seems to becoming a lost
art....
