Hi Phillip,
 It would be nice if the problem could be reduced at the source of the spot
then there is less complexity needed upstream.  My thought is the
PSKreporter option in WSJT-X can only be enabled if CAT is defined, this
might filter some of the chaff from the wheat when it comes to spots before
it gets to upstream services like PSKreporter.  (by the way I am a Big fan
of your work Phillip)

Another avenue where CAT is not mandatory, might be for WSJT-X to include a
'quality' value with each spot when it is sent from WSJT-X to PSKreporter
that identifies those spots coming from a CAT controlled station and those
from non CAT stations, this could be used as a weighting factor when
looking for bad spots. That I am guessing would need to be a collaboration
between yourself and the DEV team as to how it was implemented.  The down
side would be the sheer weight of old software out there that would still
be sending spots.

Thanks for your input.

Regards,
Peter, vk5pj
