Just like that. Tested during WW DIGI'22 contest.

Note on purpose

I have to confess that I'm not a software developer and this patch is just a dirty hack to make it possible to make auto QSO with all except Russians. To filter out RU stations use this filter: ^(R[A-Z1-9]|U[A-I])+

I know that this is not part of "ham spirit" to make such a software but... let's face it. One does not simply attack its neighbour and expects others to stay quiet. As a Pole I know my country has long and cloudy history with both Russians and Ukrainians,but what happened in the past should stay in the past. One may remember, one may forget, one may cry for revenge or one my simply forgive. From my perspective, we live in 2022, Europe, in the times of wide spread Internet. Suddenly war explodes at the borders of my country. The war that makes no sense, pure aggression and disgusting act of terrorism. As long as regular Russians do not resist to their goverment I would act and make software like this, no matter what.
