Well, i wasn't really planning on doing a spotting report for this weekend,
but a few items changed my mind. One of which was the obvious attempt to
fake my call spotting myself. Persistent fly, but at least he had the right
frequencies and call so it didn't hurt, though it did upset some of my
operators for a few minutes. He even commented that we had a nice signal in
NY... interesting for someone using my call to spot me from their own state,
you might think they would know we were in MA and that giving their own
state would be a giveaway? Anyway, see details below.
shortly after posting this the raw data can be downloaded from

Cheerleader report:
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.

This list was about 5 times longer when i started... there were a bunch of
cheerleaders for special events, wff, iota, tqp, and people repeatedly
calling cq on the cluster for themselves... what a mess. oh, and a couple
of ros stations that must have spotted each other every time they called cq
or made another contact.
See how persistent my fly was, even made the cheerleader report!
congratulations!! you wanted to see if i would print this didn't you?

Single spotter report:
DX Total Single spotters
4L9QQ 46 27(58%) all from dxsummit
Now i remember why i don't like to do the report for this contest.... there
were 20 lines when i started, all the others were wff, iota, etc... too much
other stuff this weekend!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, lets start with 4l9qq... his list of spotters from dxsummit:

all from a block of ip's from the ukraine. almost all with lower case
comments like 'cq test' or 'cq ww rtty'. and many with malformed
frequencies like '358080.0'. and then there is one from 4l9qq from the same
ip block with a comment 'cq ww rtty' and a malformed frequency '1408857.0'
for eo3q.

these other formatted spots are from k6llk's webcluster which i wrote the
software for so it also records ip's:

back to k6llk, maybe they weren't coming out fast enough for him?

in here i slowed down his fun by registering at dxsummit, that meant he
couldn't use my callsign to spot with any more, so he changed tactics...
including spotting with an interesting w2whp call using the same ip as an
earlier one. w2whp has been used by ny6dx in staten island ny in past
contests. W3tea is not an active call, and i don't believe k1ea was active
in the contest, just a distraction.. or maybe test to see if that was
working before firing a new volley.
26 Sep 18:52 2010 W2WHP-@ 14088.2.0 K1TTT

26 Sep 23:48 2010 W1/K1TTT-@ 7055.0 K1TTT
166.204.118.178
now, why do i think these were all the same person? well, the ip's overlap
enough between dxsummit and k6llk on one sequence to tie those together...
and also even though the ip's look very different they come from a couple of
common sources:
32.179.177.82 = at&t global services
71.203.152.12 = comcast cable - jacksonville
166.216.*.* = service provider corp
166.204.*.* = service provider corp
209.183.34.* = at&t mobility
service provider corp provides wireless data services for members, which
includes at&t mobility.
the spots on saturday seem different being linked directly to at&t or
comcast, all the others could be from a blackberry or similar mobile device.
someone moving around that weekend?? came home from florida to ny saturday??
