[CQ-Contest] arrl dx cw spotting report

Mon Feb 18 19:31:20 EST 2008

"Only" 36557 spots this weekend.  Lack of 10m and 15m obviously slowed down
the daytime spotting.  The top spotting rate 

on Saturday didn't break 1000/hr, but did make it up to almost 1200/hr in
the 15z hour Sunday.

Most spotted stations:
DX		Count
VP6DX		2856
PJ2T		358
6Y1LZ		315

Cheerleader report

Note, I removed all the VP6DX cheerleaders, over half of the cheerleaders
spotted only vp6dx over the weekend.
I also removed the 105 spots that YV5ANF made for "YU8/YT8".  And then I
removed the volta rtty cheerleaders, and 

several special event stations... so relatively little interesting in the
cheerleading this time.

That has got to be the most boring single spotter report in a long time,
maybe ever.

======================================================================
So we start from scratch with the dxsummit ip addresses now... there is lots
of noise in the data from this weekend due 

to the vp6dx expedition and the yu8 stuff in addition to other special
events and the volta rtty thing.  But still some 

possible self spotters seem to stand out.

Do i even have to check the ip address???  he spots with his own call, then
changes to SWL or some other call to spot himself.  The funny part is i bet
he doesn't know that SWL spots don't propagate onto the cluster network,
they stay only on dxsummit.

Just to be complete the ip comes back to:

Don't you just love it when they brag about how loud they are???  The ip is
a dead give away if you can't read through 

the comments and figure out that most contesters don't make lots of comments
like that....

another easy one, spots with his own call, then changes it to stateside
calls to spot himself... i'm not sure where 

uw1gz fits into it though.  the ip comes back to:
