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

[Keith, G6NHU]

Gregor,

Part of the problem here was the setting up of node partners without asking first and getting things badly messed up.

For example, you set a connection to my node without asking and it was set wrongly so it was never going to work.

I don’t know how many others were incorrectly set up like that.

I still saw db0sue listed as active on hamcluster just a few days ago.
