[Dxspider-support] Bad IP

[Keith, G6NHU]

OK, he says he was doing that because he was trying to get around the three connection limit.  In his defence, he’s said that the last three letters of Italian callsigns are unique and are never reused with different prefix numbers so he’s never been using someone else’s callsign.

He’s been doing some tests to see how different clusters vary between them compared to the ones where spots are uploaded the most, to see how they handle traffic and if some spots don’t traverse the entire network.

He’s assured me that from now, he won’t make any more than three connections in at the same time and will only use IU4AZC..I think that’s fair.

I've noticed that in the past hours your node started rejecting my connection and I suspect it's because some bug in my code made it behave in some "abusive" way. If that's the case, I apologise and I don't ask you to remove my ip from the blacklist sooner than the usual policy - I'll wait and use other clusters in the meantime.
