Been busy with antenna repairs and wasn't going to do this, but have had a
couple days of bad wx and a couple requests so here it is.

I'm sorry if these don't show up with nice column alignment in some mail
readers.  I compose in notepad, which is in the file you can download from
the web site if this is too bad to read.  Then I copy/paste into a plain
text outlook message (no, I'm not going to change mail clients just for
this) which changes the tab size I guess so I go back through it again and
make it look pretty in outlook.  If someone can describe a simple method
using notepad or wordpad and outlook to make these line up nicely for
everyone please let me know.

A total of 38256 spots in the database from wpx ssb.

What the columns mean:
Spotter = the spotting station
dx = the dx being spotted
spots = the number of spots the spotter made for the dx
total = the total number of spots the spotter made during the contest
pct = percentage of the total spots the spotter made for just that one dx
station.

Single spotter report

"Single Spotters" are stations who make only one dx spot in the whole
contest weekend.  It is obviously fairly unusual for a contest operator who
is active to make only one spot, many make 10's to 100's of spots during the
weekend.  It is common for DX'ers to make a single spot for a rare dx
station then turn off the radio, so lots of single spotters for rare
stations is common, but they also get lots of contest spots from other
stations.  The key here is the percentage of spots that are from 'single
spotters'.  A high percentage can be a sign of the use of fake callsigns to
spot yourself or a friend that you don't want to look like you are
cheerleading for... in any case, the use of fake callsigns is an obvious
sign of someone trying to deceive the world in one way or another.

What the columns mean:
DX - the dx station being spotted
Total - the total spots for them in the weekend
All(%) - the total number of single spots and the percentage of the total
dxs(%) - the number of the total spots that came from dxsummit and the
percentage of the total they are.  

These are broken out because it is very easy for someone to put in fake
callsigns on dxsummit and it has 

been a common source of abuse of the system.
