[Dxspider-support] Number of hops on a node

[Dirk Koopman]

AFAIK "no-one" changes the default values of the hops field. Apart from 
(possibly) me. And, again AFAIK, I don't change anything.

Have a look at DXProtVars.pm

Which means that I not using these values for PC92 etc. I don't know 
why. Neither can I remember why I have "special" hop counts for the 
sentences in %hopcount - other than to test the mechanism. Which given 
that I created/touched this file as recently as June 2007 is clearly 
unforgivable.

I have no intention of changing this file. So these are the defaults. 
Given that I had to spend about 10 minutes looking for this information, 
I'm guessing that no-one else has either. So for DXSpider nodes the 
hopcounts for those sentences are correct. For PC92/93 they are all 
hardcoded at H99.

You can probably write any code you might need using the defaults in  
DXProtVars.pm BUT this will only work for DXSpider nodes. (Nearly) Every 
other software will likely be using H99. You can probably assume that 
anything above (say) 70 started at H99.

Hope this helps

Dirk
