[Dxspider-support] Network degradation

[Keith, G6NHU]

What’s really frustrating to me (and I hope that Niklas Bergmann (no callsign given) and Lorenzo Santina IU1NSA read this) is that there is no need to do this.  The only reason I can think of that it’s being done is to get round the duplication limit of ten minutes per spot.

I would have zero complaints if these spots were added to the network via a genuine node, absolutely no issues whatsoever.  I’d even go out of my way to set up a spare node that  they could access to upload their spots.   In fact, I built a spare node just a week or so ago for some testing and would happily repurpose it.

We all want the same thing, we want to give our users good, reliable, trusted spots, they want to provide spots for their users.  Let’s get it sorted so they can do it legitimately without flooding the network with fraudulently injected spots.
