[Dxspider-support] CQWW Self Spotting - spoofing

[Danilo Brelih]

I was informed of a similar happening in recent days.
Someone is set up a robot that spots a station "x" minutes after the "live" spot 
with same frequency and callsign. He spot it however with another random sign 
that appeared among cluster users but he change cluster origin. It will be 
interesting to look deeper at the spotter IP.

BTW, human stupidity has no limits!
