[Dxspider-support] USDB

It looks like the FCC gone and changed the directory that the weekly
Amateur callsign database is stored and left the old one in place. For
the last few months I have been fetching an old version of the master
file so updates were never made. I figured it might just be a covid
delay until I looked into it closer.

I have fixed the script to fetch the data from the new directory and
usdbraw is once again up to date. You can retrieve it from

ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz to /spider/data/ and then
/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl /spider/data/usdbraw.gz
Do a 'load/usdb' on the console and you will be up to date.
