[RTTY] [rckskimmer] RTTY-spots spamming the DX-Cluster

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

See Walter's reply, Joe. The parallel, I guess, is that someone is 
manipulating the spots coming from the RBN so as to drop the -# SSID and 
the CQ in the comment, to make them appear to be human spots. Hard to 
understand the motivation for doing so, but hopefully Walter's RTTY 
world broadcast will persuade him to stop it.

73, Pete N4ZR

For spots, please go to your favorite
ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.
