[Dxspider-support] Added LoTW user mark causing duplicate spots

I wonder if somebody knows which system generates this kind of spots,
with the "+K" which (I guess) means a LoTW user:

DX de IZ8FQV:    14192.0  WX3B                                        1856Z
DX de IZ8FQV:    14192.0  WX3B         +K                             1856Z

It's nice highlighting LoTW users, but with this mention at the
beginning of the comment field, the second spot is considered as
different from the first one and generates duplicates.

This kind of "additions" should rather come close to the end of the
comment field, as many software use only the 60 first characters
or so for deduping.

But the worse is that this spot was obviously modified after being sent
by its originating node; why are some people doing such things ?
This can only generate a lot of dupes!
