[Knightsqrss] How to fool the WSPR database

[David Ackrill]

I managed it by putting an eight digit IARU locator in (used for 
microwave contests) and this is the effect upon the database...

0.501 	 G0DJA 	 IO93 	 912 	 567

As you can see, the calculated distance was calculated as being a 
negative value while I had the eight digits specified but is now OK with 
just the six digit version.
