To provide more informations to curious...
This is another kind gift from the SOTA Group, that seems ignoring the importance of standards (that is more important if you consider that cluster protocol is a very old text based protocol based on strings)
sending a spot that has as "spotter" SMS_NA will break the regular expression used to parse the cluster, because SMS_NA is not a valid (or similar) to a spotter CALLSIGN.
In that case the spot was rejected as "non-spot string"
I've added a small exception to the regular expression to deal with this case, and assume spotter = spotted and setting spotter continent to the spotted callsign continent.
Change will be released with 1.24
Thanks for spotting the SMS_NA that drive me to the solution
