[Dxspider-support] filters

[Goody]

You're right about the number in the call being a poor filter, but
considering the amount of garbage I get through my node that's
non-relevant to my users, I would welcome such filtering capability and
take the hit as far as announcements from transplanted hams.

What would be really cool is if the database you suggest was something
like QRZ.com (a web based callbook), have the system submit the call and
be able to parse out the results and filter on that.  US hams could key
off of the state.  I know this would be a alot of work to do...

BTW, I tried to unsubscribe my old address (goody at ductape.net) using the
links on the website, but it failed.  Is this due to the new list
management software ?

Thanks and 73
