[Dxspider-support] LOGGERNET

[Bela Markus]

Analysing my Spider log learned that the DXCLUSTER network is used as a 
transport media by a VHF/UHF contest program, LOGGER written by SM0LCB. 
It is basically a system where you share your QSO information with other 
stations connected to loggernet. You can view their logbook, and 
communicate. You also have a online score list. Program home page:

This program is hijacking the DXCLUSTER chat channel and traffic is not 
visible in general except log and debug files. Example log file records:

1204387528^chat^LOGGERNET^SM0DFP^#139 L*CAL;SM0DFP;1204409206;LOGGER-1.21;

I'm running a SPIDER node since a long time but found this LOGGERNET 
just recently. For me it is a trojan application, exchanging data 
through my infrastructure without my knowledge. Well, it is not harmful, 
however far away from any HAM spirit and etics.
