[Dxspider-support] Self spotting - More

[Darren G0TSM]

2) "Ground" incoming remote self-spots:

- Backup the file /spider/perl/DXProt.pm
- Edit this file
- Look for the line:
    # bash down the list of bands until a valid one is reached
- Just BEFORE this line, copy/paste the 4 lines below:

         if (($_[2] =~ $_[6]) || ($_[6] =~ $_[2])) {
                 dbg("PC11: self: $_[6] attempted to spot $_[2]");
                 return;
         }


Well done Robert, I can't see where to add the above 4 lines into the 
DXProt.pm file for build 58.304
