[Dxspider-support] Blocking FT8 spots

[Danilo Brelih]

Hi

If it's in anyone's interest. I would use the following filter rule for HF CW 
contests on my latest DXSpider V1.57 build 441. What I want to achieve is:

with SPOTS:
- I reject DIGI mode spots
- I accept all spots on CONTESTHF bands on CW portion of the bands and rejects 
all others
- I accept all spots generated by spotting callsign within the CQ zone 14,15,16 
and rejects all others

with RBN:
- I accept all rbn spots on CONTESTHF bands on CW portion of the bands
- I accept all rbn spots generated by spotting skimmer callsign within the CQ 
zone 15 and rejects all others
- I accept only rbn spots heard from more then 2 skimmer stations, i.e. Q is 
greater then 2.

S50U : spots
  filter1 reject info {\bft\d|psk\d|rtty\d|fsk\d|jt\d|js\b} and ( freq 1838/1842 
or freq 3573/3590 or freq 7040/7048 or freq 7074/7078 or freq 14071/14090 or 
freq 21074/21140 or freq 28070/28120 )
  filter2 accept freq contesthf/cw and by_zone 14,15,16
S50U : rbn
  filter1 accept on contesthf/cw and by_zone 15 and info {q:[2-9]}

The interesting thing about all this is that some DIGI spots still get past the 
filters rule. I can't find a pattern, but it works for me that the rule doesn't 
dump spots where the filter doesn't find the string we're looking for in the 
comment field. If blank then spots are rejected by from/to freq selection.
Dirk what do you think?

Some examples where the above filter does not dump SPOTS by reject info rule 
correctly. Seems only spots with some info in comment filed are passed on, empty 
field cut them successfully!
