[CQ-Contest] arrl dx ssb spotting report

[Jim Idelson]

Ok, Dave. This is great stuff. But, now that you have almost completely eradicated malicious spotting from our world, you need a new challenge.

Almost as detrimental as self-spotting, busted spotting is the next big problem to deal with. Guys who can't copy and can't type should not be passing their errors on to the rest of the world. So, how about some post-contest comparisons of spotted calls against the SCP database? For those who have posted 50 or more spots during the contest, what percent appear to be busted calls? Listed from highest percent to lowest, that would be a good way to expose the worst and the best!

Going a step further, when we see SO2R repeatedly spotted as S02R on or near 14.027, can we figure out who first posted the bad call, and then identify those who in all likelihood blindly picked up the spot and propagated it further?
