[Dxspider-support] Skimmer Spots on Backbone

[Lee Sawkins]

Today I noticed that there were Skimmer Spots arriving at node VE7CC-1 on the backbone from many different nodes for a short period of time.   This is NOT acceptable at all.  I will lock out ALL of these nodes from connecting to my system if it happens again.  Some of these nodes are DX Spider and some are CC Cluster.  These spots are apparently being generated by node GB7DXS.  My node received 576 of these spots in 2 minutes before they stopped.

Here are some of these spots received from GB7DJK.

CC Cluster nodes must UPDATE their node software to ver 3.121am or later or else they may will be locked out if they forward any more Skimmer spots to me on the backbone.  This software version prevents CC Clusters from forwarding Skimmer spots.
