[Dxspider-support] FW: [Trouble Ticket #845] DXSpider RTTY Spots

[Rob Harrison]

Hi All

See below, I reported to the N1M development team that Spider RBN RTTY spots are not recognised.. as RTTY due to RTT not RTTY in the comments... I have responded to K3CT with more detail regarding the reformatting of spots but we will see. One smart individual said to my post:

"Looks to me as either a bug or faulty design RTTY has been called RTTY for over 60 years...

However simple enough, set cluster to reject all spot comments except for RTT and then set N1MM to accept everything it receives.

Alternative use a DX cluster that does not change RTTY to RTT."

Not really useful..... Dirk it maybe useful if you emailed N1MM

We have a note in the source code that the rtty skimmer includes "RTTY" in the comment field.

Could be a bug in the cluster software?

RTTY RBN spots from DXSpider are identified by RTT as the first 3 characters of the comments field.

N1MM doesn't seem to identify these RTTY spots as RTTY spots!!

Can this be adjusted please?
