Hello Dirk (and Allen), I tinkered with node_default spot filters a little while ago and ended up 
with a spot input filter on GB7DXC-5 that looked like:

rej/spot node_default input on hf and not by_zone 14,15

This prevented all spots not originated in zones 14 or 15 from getting into the node and then 
being sent to its connected users, which was what I wanted at the time.

Would it be possible for Allen to subsitute 'output' for 'input' so that he ended up with a reject 
filter that would look like:

rej/spot node_default output <filter-spec>

Is 'output' a valid qualifier for node_default in the same way as 'input' is?
