Square that with the display I get when I right click on a spot database
entry and click "Display spots of XX#YYY near 14###.## in MM"? I see
multiple spots from multiple spotters. Those spots should differentiate
between a human source and a Skimmer source ... or between station W4TV
and W4TV-4 if I'm running two rigs with two versions of SC.

W1XX (human) and W1XX-# skimmer generated independent spots of P5DX.
