Now ugly statistics about single spotter spots. These are spots from
people that made only one spot the whole weekend. There are two sources
of these, the cluster network and dxsummit. Note that most of the
single spotter spots for 3b9c and tj3g were non-contest.
DX total all dxsummit
spots singles singles

What do all these numbers mean... well, after looking at many contests
worth of this data I expect to see the following types of trends:
1. Look at the left most column above. Rare stations get more spots, as
do multi ops who cq a lot.
2. Look at the middle column above. Expeditions get lots of spots from
dx'ers who don't spot lots of other stuff, so they get higher
percentages of single spotter spots. 'Normal' stations get <10% of
their spots from single spotters, expeditions are often around 20%(see
3b9c and tj3g above)
3. Look at the last column above. With all else being equal the
percentage of single spotter spots from dxsummit should be about the
same for all stations. This may be different for areas that do not have
access to the 'packet' network to enter spots, but for stations that get
lots of spots 20% to maybe 50% would normally be from dxsummit.
Note the ones i have removed were from stations who had very few single
spots overall which tend to confuse the numbers.
So, very high percentages in column 3 show that there were a high
percentage of spotters who only spotted the one dx station in the
contest. These could be from lots of disguised self spots, a group of
cheerleaders who only spotted their buddy, or from dx'ers who worked the
new one and turned off the rig for the weekend.
Very high percentages in the last column show that more of the spots
came from dxsummit than a normal cluster node. The only reason I can
use to explain these is the availability of normal clusters vs only web
access to areas that are spotting the station... as the cluster network
is available worldwide to virtually anyone who would also have access to
the dxsummit web site this is a pretty weak explanation these days. So
i often look at unusually high percentages of dxsummit single spotters
as a sign of disguising your call by picking random other calls to spot
with and taking advantage of the easy web interface to enter them.
Fortunately with dxsummit publishing ip addresses it is very easy to
find the details on these... see below.
One final note... the self spotters below were pulled out of the
dxsummit data based on ip address discrepancies BEFORE i ran the
statistics above. So this would show there are two different methods,
one statistical as above, and the other from the specific spot data that
reveals the same possible violations.

none of the 4 above spotters has made another dx spot since the

If the sysops of the above nodes can extract the ip data for the above
two groups it might be more revealing.
