[Dxspider-support] Bad Habbits Growing

[Eric Carling]

AR-Cluster has a Bottom-Of-Band-DX filter, user settable to show these spots 
or not and so exclude spots on the lower band edges. Unfortunately, in the 
predominate AR-Cluster network on your continent, there was at one time a 
growing trait to defeat it by spotting the rubbish on 14001, 21001 etc. The 
solution therefore might be for the complainants to lobby their logbook 
author to introduce a filter to that software rather than at source eg in DX 
Spider. I don't know if that's the best thing or not but it is something 
that requires addressing somehow because, although it will diminish 
dramatically after K7C ends, it will be back every time there is a major 
DXpedition.
