[MiQP-Mail] Mobiles on APRS

[hank k8dd]

And the best way to insure you do not use spots from the DX Cluster is to
turn off the DX spots.  The command depends on the type of Cluster you are
checking into - AR Cluster, Pavillion, DX Spider, DX-net, CLX, etc

It would be best to do a HELP SET/DX     or    HELP DX   or just plain   HELP
