[WT-support] Skimmer interface to WT

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Problem reproduced here. Selecting DXSpider or AR Cluster syntax makes no
difference.

To reproduce the problem, configure wtDxTelnet for the N4ZR node, which is
running an automated VE3NEA CW Skimmer:

Profile Name:  N4ZR
Address:  75.104.43.8
Port:  7300
Login:  (your callsign)
Password:  (none required)

I wonder if N4ZR's node is confusing Win-Test by using a "#" character in
the "announcer's" callsign, for every spot:

DX de N4ZR-#:    14036.6  K1ZM          Rx:FM19AE CQ'ing              2214Z
          ^^
In contrast, connecting to the K3LR node works fine, where the spots look
like this:

DX de VE3UTT:     7020.7  HB4FV                                    HB 2219Z
ON

All the columns line up the same, so that has to be it.

73,
Bob, N6TV
