[Xastir] does CWOP filter get new DW stations?

[Matt Werner]

To make the program more...universal...shouldn't it check for more
than the prefix (or maybe it does)?  CW and DW are both prefixes that
are also used by foreign countries and could be (or maybe already are)
on APRS.

At a minimum a CW station should be required to be wx and the last
four characters should be numeric I would think.
