Thanks for all the positive direct replies. Some people advised me to look
at uniques as well - stations that sumbitted only one spot. It proved to be
very interesting, well here is the outcome:
Out of all the 1018 unique spots 449 or 44% were made through summit (with @
sign)
Out of 1018 spots 159 or 16% had decimal places in frequency.
30 stations had 7 or more unique spots in the contest. They had 366
together. I give you data about all those 30.
17 stations of those 30 are typical DX stations who have many uniques for
obvious reasons - they are spotted by DXers. Their spots are characterized
by:
Average number of @ spots
Above average "decimal place" spots
Very various comments. Comments on roughly half of spots.
US calls are in FCC database!
A good average example is HC8N:
JA3CZY @ 3793 HC8N WPX for JA 1053 30 Mar
ZL2AAA 3799.5 HC8N 833 29 Mar
OE8YDQ 3803 HC8N big sig but out of eu band 359 29 Mar

LU2APV @ 28306 HC8N contest.......!!!!!!!!!! 2137 30 Mar
JR1KSK @ 28518 HC8N 2 29 Mar
It is perfectly fine and logical that there are unique spots like that for a
station like that.
This is also the way how the spots of following stations look like:
9M2RPN - 7 spots
9S1X - 9 spots
A61AJ - 8 spots
C5P - 10 spots
D44TD - 9 spots
D4B - 7 spots
DP1POL - 7 spots
J5UDX - 9 spots
P3A - 9 spots
S9SS - 8 spots
ST0RY - 65 spots
ST2CF - 12 spots
TO4T - 7 spots
V60A - 14 spots
XT2TI - 10 spots
YW4M - 8 spots

All 28 spots are with @ sign! - As I am a lot into math and statistics in my
job, I like probablities, this probability is 0.000000000104!
All but one have no decimal places in frequency! Spots following each other
on the band are usually exactly on same frequency. This probability is
around 1.5%
All but two comments are "wpx"! For some reason this seems to be a very
popular comment with fishy spots.
Out of US calls W7KHS is not issued by FCC. I did not check non-US calls.
There are 5 desperate spots on 14205 in the last 20 minutes of the contest.
For reference this is NS3T's data about JT1BV from last years WPX SSB:
****
JT1BV
In the WPX SSB, there were 22 spots of JT1BV.
16 of those 22 spots were via IRC/DX Summit.
Those produced 15 "unique" calls:

LV7H last year:
*****
During the contest, there were 54 spots of LV7H.
34 of those came from DX Summit.
Of those 34 spots, 27 of the spotting calls were
unique - meaning that station only spotted LV7H
during the contest. In fact, only two of these uniques
had previous spots on record.
As many as 18 of those 27 uniques were also inactive
calls, depending on the source (Buckmaster, etc.)
There were no inactive US calls found.
