[Dxspider-support] Suspect cq wpx spots?

[Keith Maton]

Aye, agree with Iain.  If I’d interpreted it properly before I posted it, I wouldn’t have posted it.  

I’m definitely not a member of the spot police.  In fact, strange that it may seem, I don’t use the cluster during contests, I always enter non-assisted :-)
