Thanks for the explanation, Dave I did crosscheck against the DX Spotting network on QRZ and it did not appear to be affected. Probably isolated to certain Networks and I just happen to have one or more of them as a Source for Spotcollector.

Has anyone else had my recent experience with multiple "spots" from a single callsign showing up in Spotcollector at the same time. In one instance a Polish station nearly filled the entire Spotcollector screen This just happened again with two or three callsigns showing up, filling the page.
I do not think it is a Spotcollector issue per se but likely something from each of the Networks. Weird behavior, never experienced it before.
+ Yes: large number of spots of a single callsign on multiple frequencies - more than 10 - simultaneously, repeated for several different callsigns.
+ A persistent implementation of this would constitute a denial-of-service attack that would render the DX Cluster network useless. This vulnerability will persist until DXCluster operators gain the ability to revoke a client's ability to generate outgoing spots.
