ok, enough with the spot statistics, on to the oddities

this actually looks kind of normal in most aspects.  the rarer stations
like zk3 and vk9 got the most spots on both sources... the odd ones are
hg3m and f5mux scoring high in the single spotter statistics  and also
f5tni showing in the dxsummit list... lets look at the details:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

HG3M seems to have lots of stateside friends who use ed7zab-5 for a node
and only make one spot.

HG1W happened ot show up in my scan of spots for patterns because it ran
right into HG3M.  looks 

like stateside stations also like to use hg1dxc as a node to spot hg1w.

anyone out there that can get the ip address log from ed7zab-5 and
hg1dxc so i can pin down where those users were coming from??
------------------------------------------------------------------------

F5TNI somehow got w1to who was operating at my station all weekend to
surf to dxsummit using a French isp and enter a spot for him.  also k1ir
usually uses k1ea's node, so why spot from dxsummit via france?
