I think that's the syntax for AK1A software - G1TLH's DXSpider (which you'll
find on (almost) all of the UK clusters these days, as well as many other
places) has a much nicer and more flexible filter engine.

Try HELP FILTER when you've connected, there's a good tutorial.

A good start for use next weekend is

ACCEPT/SPOTS ON HF/CW
REJECT/SPOTS ON WARC

Pretty self-explanitory... you can also 'tune' what parts of the world you
want to see spots from, so you only see what's spotted in Europe, for
example.
