[Dxspider-support] Question about DX spots format

[Robert Chalmas]

Hi,

I noted that spots transmitted on telnet.reversebeacon.net:7000 have a 
slightly different format, although this system identifies itself as a DX 
Spider node.

Here is an example:

reversebeacon:
DX de PA1T-#:      24892.1  HK4CZE       09 dB  33 WPM  CQ             1610Z

HB9IAC-8:
DX de K7JF:      24892.0  HK4CZE                                      1610Z CN87

(especially, the QRG and DX call are not exactly in the same columns).

Both systems use exactly the same software version:
DX Spider Cluster version 1.55 (build 0.82 git: b7512d7) on Linux

So why this difference in the spots format?

Does it have something to do with the #-character used by reversebeacon 
instead of a numeric SSID? Is it a bug ?

Thanks for any hint! This was reported by a user of my RXCLUS client software, 
which currently rejects the reversebeacon spots due to this format difference.
