Then go look at the ip in the spotting reports. Someone's credibility is 
decidedly slipping!

dxsummit spots for ka1lmr:
IK2CFG-@: 14195 KA1LMR CQ CONTEST 24.62.145.56
F6FDW-@: 14195 KA1LMR TEST NH 24.62.145.56
I2DFI-@: 14195 KA1LMR TEST 24.62.145.56

Chris, you should do this from a dialup where you get a new ip each time
