[Dxspider-support] Callsign with / gives "invalid callsign on login

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

This has been this way since the days of the original packet cluster.
The callsign must be a valid format for AX.25 packet frames which is 6
characters + SSID. A portable designator is not allowed. The Austrailian
7 character format (VK1ABCD) doesn't work either.
