Statistics, statistics, statistics.... 

Here are the top over all spot getters for cqww cw:

DX      Count
5U5Z    497
HC8N    494
ZA1A    315
TO4WW   292
PJ2T    285
T32WW   282
TS7N    253
PT5A    251
TO4E    242
OH0Z    241

nothing surprising here, full time operations from rare countries get
spotted alot.


Like I showed last time, here are the top 10 spot getters from spotters
who only made one spot in the contest:

These stations got the most spots from people who only made one spot in
the whole contest.  there were 1429 spots that fell into this catagory
out of 35106 i logged in the contest.  These were for 709 different dx
stations.  So the average dx station that got spotted by the 'single
spotters' was spotted 2.01 times. 

The count of single spots from all sources is what is in the first
column below.

The second column shows the number of those spots that were input from
dxsummit.

The third column shows the total spots for each station from all
spotters(the list above).

                total   single  single

T32WW           282     9(3%)           4(44%)

These i pulled out of the list because they were all or mostly
non-contest:
TO4E            242     67(28%)         14(21%)         ssb and warc
SX8E            90      21(23%)         3(14%)          ssb
9N7WE           42      14(33%)         3(21%)          ssb and warc
VK9CV           52      13(25%)         2(15%)          ssb and warc
VK9CJ           53      10(19%)         0(0%)           mostly ssb and
warc

Now, what looks interesting about all those numbers?  World wide the
high single spotter spot getters were:

HA5A is an interesting one.  44% single spotter spots, but none from
dxsummit.

but look at the pattern of where they did come from and the consistency
of the comments:

anyone know f5mzn-3 sysop?  it would be interesting to get ip address
logs for these users.

again, it is good to see that very little fake spotter activity seems to
be going on from the regular cluster networks.  There do seem to be some
who think they can still hide behind dxsummit though.  It would appear
that some 
of the fake spotters using dxsummit are getting a bit smarter, less of
them seemed to show up as single spotters which may mean they are using
calls that they see spotting other stuff so they don't stand out as
much... but the ip addresses never lie.  At some point it is going to be
more work to generate fake spots for yourself than it helps your
operation.  One thing that makes this point is that ii2b was spotted by
iz2bkc 32 times on dxsummit, but only 24 of them actually made it around
the world, the rest were probably stopped by dupe filters because they
had already been spotted.

For further interesting consideration:

This is a count of who spotted whom the most number of times.

F5NOD           TO4E    10
KC1XX           HC8N    10

Obviously w3lpl was having fun with his new node and generated over 1300
spots for the weekend!  IZ2BKC made it to the top though with his 24
spots for ii2b, he did spot some other stuff, he made one spot for 5u5z,
and one for dii2b (oops)... and he changed identity to iz2bkc-9 to spot
ii2b 3 more times... friend or foe?

If you were wondering about big spotters, w3lpl was the winner by far,
more than doubling k3lr's 660 spots.
