[Dxspider-support] Who said ghosts don't exist?

[Christopher Schlegel]

Similar results here...

Test setup, BYOBU with 4 connections. Top left is WI3W-2, bottom left is
WI3W-3. Top right is N2WQ-1, bottom right is AE5E. As the CCC nodes default
to HF only spots, as I understand it, I set the filters on my nodes to
"reject/spots not on hf" to mimic that. See attached image...

I did not choose N2WQ and AE5E to pick on them. I chose those two nodes
because I know they may be active here and may possibly have answers that
could help.

Chris, WI3W
