[Dxspider-support] DO5SSB-2 and DB0SUE-7 (long story)

[Gregor Surmann]

Hello guys!

First of all, I would like to apologize if I caused any confusion or 
Problems. That was never my intention.

Over 2 years ago, I set up a DXSpider node to participate in the DX cluster. 
For a long time, it ran without any significant traffic, it was actually 
just for me.

Some time ago, I also tried to get on this mailing list, but unfortunately 
without success. Now I'm here.

My own call sign is DO5SSB, the node has DO5SSB-2. When I found out from 
Kalle, DK2ZZ, that DB0SUE-7's server was broken and he couldn't continue to 
operate it, I wrote to him to take it over. Unfortunately, no response.

Then, a few months later, I saw the domain "db0sue.de" for sale, which I 
bought for $100 to continue his work with honor. I "unfortunately" used the 
call sign DB0SUE-7 without knowing that it leads to such problems in the 
DXSpider software.

The operator of SR4DXC (my first link) pointed out to me that there are 
problems and that they are being discussed here.

After I got on the list here, I followed the emails and blocked nodes that 
connect to "db0sue.de". So for several weeks there should have been no 
traffic with this DB0SUE-7 call sign.

I run the cluster myself because I work in a data center and have the 
necessary resources and enough redundancy to keep it running.

The traffic that comes from the IP 82.149.227.228 (mine) is valid and does 
not have to be set as "bad IP".

The call sign "DO5SSB-2" is also valid and belongs to me, as you can see on 
the BNetzA website.

So again, I'm sorry for causing so much confusion and problems, it wasn't my 
intention. I just wanted to keep the DX cluster alive, as the old DB0SUE-7 
node was on the net for a long time and reliably.

Regarding the comment that I have so many links, yes, they are also set up 
correctly and I use my own call sign correctly. So it's not a problem, I think.

In my opinion, everything should now run smoothly and I'm happy to be able 
to give my part back to the Ham Radio community.

Hope for good teamwork in the future!

BTW. I created a replacement for the SHOW/CONTEST function, but I will write 
about that in another mail.
