[Dxspider-support] Seeing all your spots

[Simon Ravnič]

I would like to ask you to please reconsider adding this feature again. A must feature for a RBN cluster.

To summarise, I would like to see all spots of my call, so when I call CQ I can see the world lit up. Good for monitoring change in propagation when running CQ.

But you should be careful a) what you wish for because b) when I last looked I was receiving ~150,000 spots / hour, of which I was getting ~5500 useful spots (~3%). I will put it on the list. If the rate of bustedness is generally as bad as Lee suggests then we will chop that number of useful spots down  even more.
