[Dxspider-support] Interesting Problem with spots format and N1MM

[Björn Ekelund]

DXLog used to have exactly the same problem and we ended up redesigning
the spot parsing just because of this.

DXSpider omits the colon after the spotter's callsign if it is longer than
7 characters. As I have pointed out to Dirk,
I think this is a very unfortunate deviation from the de facto standard
formatting of spots. Many software software
rely on the colon being there and some of them are no longer maintained.
