Dirk,

probably a very small bug...
but could be a possible source of dupe spots
if someone has a user connection to a spider

saw this spot:

DX de VR2XMT:    50150.0  GM0PLH       noise here QSY back 160
0925Z
DX de ON4NA:     21253.6  JH4TEW       KAZU INNOSHIMA ISL AS 117 IF N
0927Z
DX de F8TSV:     14023.1  VK3XU        cw >50w 599
0926Z

noticed that the text of the ON4NA spot was 1 char too long
looking at the code, there is no maximum length defined

perl/Spot.pm line 276:
return sprintf "DX de %-7.7s%11.1f  %-12.12s %-29s %s$loc", "$_[4]:",
$_[0], $_[1], $_[3], $t ;

should probably be:
return sprintf "DX de %-7.7s%11.1f  %-12.12s %-29.29s %s$loc", "$_[4]:",
$_[0], $_[1], $_[3], $t ;


You see Dirk, I'm already going through a lot of code...
b.t.w. very nice written !

Filip
