As written, these statements seem to contradict each other.  If most
clusters use DXSpider, and DXSpider lets 8N3G20 through OK, then the impact
of *not* adding a pattern for the special callsigns will be relatively
LARGE, because then 8N3G20 and the others will NEVER be spotted by *any*
skimmer cluster.  This doesn't seem right to me.
