[Dxspider-support] Spot with False Origin Nodes

[Keith, G6NHU]

Hi Lorenzo,

I have a couple of things I hope you can clear up.

There was thousands of WWA spots posted on the network supposedly via N9SIN.   This callsign is not a known cluster node, we could find no links to it and no reference to it anywhere.

Where did these spots come from?

Also, there’s been a post saying that some WWA spots were supposedly posted from EA2CW.  This is a node which is locked down and all users have to be registered with a password.   None of the callsigns which appeared to have posted these spots are registered on EA2CW.  I’ve not seen any IP headers for these spots but I suspect that they won’t be the IP that EA2CW uses.

Again, can you explain where these spots came from please?

I’ve already posted in this group to say I have no issues with legitimate spots but there are many questions which need to be answered, like mine above.

Thanks,
