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

[Michael Carper, Ph.D.]

If my memory is correct, I don't think it's ever been possbile to login to
a DX cluster with a slash in the callsign.

But with the latest version of Ham Radio Deluxe, we had to start using
Operator Callsign to conform to some slash call requirements for Station
Callsign.
