Hudi časi prihajajo v WW tekmovanjih. Še dobro, da obstoja assisted kategorija

Dobro je to. To so dobri časi za poštene in hudi za goljufe...

Še ena zelo zanimiva analiza od K1TTT. Vredna branja!

WOW! I knew we were getting LOTS of spots this weekend, but this is even above what I expected. Last year in CQWW SSB I recorded 48k spots. This year it was up to 54317 spots in the database. And during much of this time my node had over 200 users, 230+ at one point, last year i think i was topped out at about 120 or so. Much of the weekend there were over 1000 spots/hr, peaking over 1600 spots/hr Sunday.

Remember on this part that a high percentage of spots by 'single spotters' for non-rare expeditions is often a sign that the spotter callsigns are being faked in some way. Big expeditions to really rare places often get high percentages of dx hunters who only spot them to brag that they worked them, then turn off their radio... High percentages for expeditions or really rare stations are normally in the 20-30% range.

Now what is interesting about this is that I do the statistics above and the search for suspicious looking patterns below separately... it just happens that both searchs turned up the same 5 stations above by different methods. Then, as a 3rd input I also search the DXSummit spot inputs separately, and find more on the same stations.... so here we go.
Unfortunately this is WAY too big to show all the details here. So I am going to summarize here more than usual and you can download the raw data from my web site later. It seems that either there is a new batch of spotting cheaters or the ones that have been out there have forgotten what showed up last year. What you can do to help is to put pressure on those who use these obvious attempts to cheat and get them to play nicer with others.

Observations: lots of similar comments. Lots of integer or '.5' frequencies, obviously not a common pattern on spots.
Call spot checks:
KB4RTY - tech plus, whats he doing on 20m
WB4DF - not issued
KB4FG - NOT ISSUED
KB4ON - NOT ISSUED
WB1SD - NOT ISSUED
W3YSD - NOT ISSUED
KB4RF - NOT ISSUED (SURE LIKES KB4 PREFIXES DOESN'T HE?)

In this case there is not much info on dxsummit for these spots. They may have been entered directly into the #cqdx irc channel, or from some other source that dumped them into dxsummit or #cqdx.

Observations: ALL integer frequencies! VERY strange. Almost no comments, not unusual during a contest. Lots of well known calls in this list of spotters, including some rare dx and expeditions, now that is strange.

This is a group of spots for him from DXSummit, note the same IP address for all the spots from different spotters around the world!

EA7RU

Single spotter spots were kind of ordinary looking. Though split spots all used a similar 3 digit frequency without 'qsx' which for computer loggers is rather odd these days.

DXSummit spots from:
EC7ADZ,EA7HZ,EA7CTE,EA7CPL,EA7HZ,EC7DXU,K1WAC,K3RE,F5OLT,IK0HJU,JA1CTE
DL1KQ,UR5FLT,EA7HZ,KA1GF,WP4SF,AA2C,KA4RE,WA3OP,K2PE,KI2L
all came from 85.57.0.192
address: Parque Empresarial La Finca
address: Edificio 9
address: Paseo del Club Deportivo, 1
address: 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcon
address: Madrid, Spain

=====================================================================================

F5KKD
most spots came from F5MZN-3 node, including users k5ya,w8zr,ja2pac,jr5vhu,gm3tt,w4is,ua4lw,hg1s, and n5au. ALL had comments, mostly saying zone 14 or 'cqww', both of which are rarely used by real spotters.

Spots from DXSummit:
F2MA 21252.5 cq ww 82.121.64.136
W4JI 21214.5 Booming NA 82.121.64.136
N4DL 14330 Booming NA 82.121.64.136
W7WA 14330 zone 14 82.121.64.136

which of course is from

=====================================================================================

CX9DX

Another one with all integer frequencies. The only comment from 3 different spotters was "CONTES".

=====================================================================================

RK3QWW

Lots of "CQ WW" comments. Comments included with almost all spots including saying what antenna he was using and direction he was beaming at the time. Got spotted by P51AC which was interesting.

DXSummit spots from around the world from IP 83.149.24.107
address: Oleg A. Yurlov
address: 115035 30, Kadashevskaya emb.
address: Moscow, Russian Federation

=====================================================================================

3B8GT
Why?? Not rare enough to start with? All integer frequencies... "59" comments on several spots from different spotters.

must have been a dialup number as the DXSummit ip address kept changing, but they all came back to:
OrgName: African Network Information Center
OrgID: AFRINIC
Address: 03B3 - 3rd Floor - Ebene Cyber Tower
Address: Cyber City
Address: Ebene
Address: Mauritius

=====================================================================================

A52AM and also A52AN

WHY??? Most spots in this small group had comments "ww".

DXSummit spots from:
OK2MD,JH6FGT,W6GFT,W7HG,OM5EW,JH6FRT,W6GFT,UA3DER,OH2DR
came from IP 202.55.191.40
netname: SKYCC

=====================================================================================


Others:
Why do these relatively rare places think they need to fake spots for themselves???? Just call cq and with all the spotters out there you will get spotted many more times by them without breaking rules or wasting time playing on the internet!

A61HH - Again, this one hd most comments saying "CQWW" or "CQ WW", or one just "WW".. all upper case as opposed to others that are often mixed case. IP address comes back to:
org-name: Emirates Telecommunications Corporation
org-type: LIR
address: Emirates Telecommunications Corporation - Etisalat
P.O. Box 1150
Dubai
United Arab Emirates

There was a spotting competition in China from the looks of it, all of these had suspicious groups of spots:
B7M, BA4T, BX5AA

Others with similar patterns that were obviously fake include:
CV5D, F4FLQ, I4ABF, IZ2DPX, IZ5ICH, RX1CQ, XE1CQ


=================================================================
I expect the log checkers will ask for the data again this year like they have the last couple years. If you want to do your own analysis or see if you have been flagged by any of my checks and just didn't make the hit parade listed here you can download the excel and access files, as well as the raw data for this summary at:
http://www.k1ttt.net/logs/2007cqwwssb_spots.zip
Just please don't ask me to explain it all to you, if you don't know how to use complex access queris or excel or how to trace ip addresses I don't have time to explain it all to the world.
