[Dxspider-support] Self spotting

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

DX Spider does have a good set of filters to suit the needs of just 
about everyone. I say let it all pass through and let the user decide 
what they want with filters and settings like set/wantrbn unset/skimmer 
and maybe a new one for unset/selfspot or maybe a set/minselfspot with a 
minimum frequency threshold. You can even limit spots to ones from 
specific regions and zones and modes and bands. Then again, you will 
never please everyone every time.

Remember the original AK1A spotting network was built for contesters by 
contesters.
