I just realized that since my cluster (DX Spider, running on Linux) is
GPL open-source, all I need to do is rewrite the software to create new
filtering.  Sounds like a piece of cake.  All I need is a copy of "Perl
for Dummies", right? After all, it's only software.  :^)

Somebody has been checking into my cluster with a bogus callsign.
