Hello Mike, I've just checked the Filtering manual and it shows that the syntax for including 
one or more prefixes in a filter is just 'by' rather than 'by_dxcc' as you've shown in your filter 5 
- 'by_dxcc' is the pattern that needs the DXCC numbers as you've shown.

On this basis you could use (without the subsequent line that includes 'by_dxcc'):

accept/spot 5 by w,ve

Or alternatively you could try modifying filter 5 to be a reject filter, ie.

reject/spot 5 not by w,ve

Hope this helps,
