[Dxspider-support] Seeing all your spots

[Dirk Koopman]

Simon

Sorry, not now. It's not what I want to achieve. Whilst I can see that 
you (and others might find it useful, what comes out is so far away from 
the input that I would find it difficult (with the code as it is) to 
reconstitute some version of the input back into the output.  I can see 
your use case, but some might point out that you are "self-spotting" 
(BTW I have no views on this, one way or the other).

The thing I _may_ be able to offer, is for a user to flag their 
'account' on their preferred node and if (and only if) their callsign 
appears on the skimmers, a tranche of spots will be sent. But even that 
has to be rate limited. It will never send out a flush of skimmer spots 
every time a user sends CQ. If there is a general need for something 
that is more "real time", I could be persuaded to consider a separate 
system to filter skimmers to achieve this. But not now.
