[wxqc] server responses

[Gerry Creager]

Someone recently said they were using cwop.aprs.net:14580 as a primary 
and cwop.aprs.net:23 as an alternate.

Barring a full fledged DNS failure, where all your DNS servers go down, 
you should be fine with a round-robin DNS entry.  At least, that's the 
way round-robin was intended to work.  Discrete server entries should 
not be needed with this scheme: They were much more important when we 
did not have a rotation scheme.
