My node had 35633 spots for the weekend. There were 4190 stations
spotted by 3158 spotters. An interesting statistic (if you are into
such things) is that there were 29484 different combinations of spotters
and spottees in the log, this means that 6149 spots were from spotters
who spotted the same station more than once.

On the cheerleaders list it is a bit more informative to add a couple
more numbers. This list shows the number of spots each spotter made for
the dx station and compares to their total spots for the weekend and the
percent of spots they made that were for that one dx station. Obviously
the ones with high percentages were much more interested in spotting
that one dx station than anything else in the contest. Obviously 10-20
spots from w3lpl or rl3a who made over 1000 spots each is not
significant, where 43 spots from kp4cpd who only made 46 spots may be.

Here is the breakdown of the 'single spotter' spots. These are spots by
spotters who only made one spot in the 48 hour contest for anyone. The
'Total' column is how many spots the station got in the whole contest.
the 'All' column is the number and percent from all the nodes, and the
'DXS' column is the number of spots and percentage from only DXSummit.
Normally stations in this list are relatively rare dx that attract dx
hunters or casual contesters that don't make a lot of spots. As a good
example 5u5z attracted lots of attention but got less than 5% of their
spots from single spotters and only 3 spots from DXSummit single
spotters. S9BB is an exceptional dx example that was not in the
contest, but it shows how many single spotters an active station may
draw and the percentage that might come from DXSummit.

Sure would be nice to get the ip address info back from DXSummit for
these spotters.

its interesting that most of the dxsummit spots had to be sure you knew
ce was zone 12. Most contest spotters don't bother with a comment like
that so having a whole group like that is odd. also, w3bgh is not found
in latest buckmaster cd. also note that all the ones with comments are
exact integer frequencies, most cw spots have some variance around the
real tx just due to how people tune them in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this is an odd group of spotters but not very active if it is a self
spotting effort. it mostly caught my eye because one of them was from
my node and was obviously not from nj.

sp9ydx is a regular user on my node. none of the others has made any
dx spot in the last month that is in my node database now. not a very
active self spotter if it was, but interesting coincidence that w2pt and
w9pt both only spotted him.
note he also had the cheerleader ea3ewi... who just happened to be using

High percentage of single spotter spots and most with comments that
contain similar text. again, most contest spotters don't bother putting
in the contest name or a signal report... and whats with the '599=' in
two of them? and all on exact integer frequencies, most spots
especially on cw have some variance less than 1kc around their tx
frequency.

interesting that all are exactly on a .5kc frequency. most spots have
some variance just due to how people tune in cw.

need i continue??? getting ip addresses from dxspider nodes is a slower
process than from ar-cluster, but i think you get the idea.
