[CQ-Contest] Spacing note for RBN users

[N4ZR]

When trying to decode callsigns for the RBN, the CW Skimmer Server 
software developed by VE3NEA relies on proper CW spacing to determine 
what is part of a callsign and what isn't.  This can result in problems 
in contests where abbreviations of the contest name are commonly part of 
the CQ and sent just before the callsign.  For example, "CWT" is often 
run together with the sender's callsign, resulting in spots of K4 
stations with prefixes like "TK4". "WW", "MM", and other contest 
abbreviations, when run together with the sender's callsign, can have a 
similar effect.  The resulting spurious spots can replace what should be 
good spots - for example in the Available and Bandmap windows in N1MM+ - 
so it would be very much in senders' interest to correct their spacing 
if they see this happening.
