[DXLog.net - Support] Strange spots from 3V/KF5EVY

[9A5K]

Exactly that.

DXLog is doing it in similar way, obviously, it's time to change it a bit.
As ":" character can be used as start point, I will change the code to use
it for calculation of fields position in
the rest of the line.
This should fix the issue very quickly.
