[Dxspider-support] Removing automated FTx spots from the non-RBN (DX) spots

[Dirk Koopman]

After a few complaints about automated FTx spots on the non-RBN feed, I 
have setup the following two filter incantations in my user_default 
filter. Obviously, users can change/remove this by creating their own 
spot filters. Equally, users that have already created spot filters will 
not be affected by this.

  reject/spot user_default 1 info 
{ft\d\s+[+-]\d+d?b?(?:\s+from\s+[a-z][a-z]\d\d)?(?:\s+\d+\s*hz)?}
reject/spot user_default 2 info  {ft\d\s+sent:\s+[-+]\d+}

For those that are hard of perl regex fu, these filters detect the 
following sorts of spot:

FT8 +07dB 1247Hz
FT8 +02dB from KO38 384Hz

With or without leading 0s in numeric fields

FT8 Send -18 Rcvd -10
FT4  Sent: -05  Rcvd: -02  Gracias desde Canarias
JN01WK<>FK95 FT8  Sent: -14  Rcvd: -12  Distance: 6637 km

All regexes are caseless (treats 'A' and 'a' as the same character)
