total = total number of spots the spotter put in for all stations
Pct = percent of the total spots that were for the dx station

JL1UTS - some users apparently didn't like his spot comments ("QRP 5W CW QSO
TKS!") and started using his call to spot him on bad frequencies from other
nodes to make it look like self spotting.

Single spotters report:
DX		Total	All 	DXSummit
PY6RA		36	15(41%)	14(38%)
AM8IL		52	15(28%)	1(1%) (6m spots only)
CS8DFG	64	14(21%)	2(3%) (6m and warc plus other stuff, not contest)
VC1T		72	10(13%)	3(4%)
VR2008O	32	9(28%)	1(3%)
A43MI		40	7(17%)	2(5%)
UW2F/P	41	7(17%)	6(14%)
C91TK	1	4	6(42%)	2(14%)

Total = count of all spots for the dx station
All = count/percentage of spots from all sources that were made by a user
who only made one spot in the contest.
DXSummit = count/percentage of spots from dxsummit that were made by a user
who only made one spot in the contest.

My thoughts on this... a user that only makes one spot during the whole
contest period is either spotting some rare dx, just playing around not in
the contest and only worked one station, or is a made up call used to spot
yourself.  So rare stations or special events get high percentages.  Common
stations that get high percentages are something worth looking at.

etc... the ip address of course comes back to:
owner:       Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A.
which is of course out of Brazil, not any of the countries where the
callsigns came from.
