A little more investigation.... Just for fun but FACT we FOUND HIM!

Still rather intrigued about who wants to mess up the DK5DR poll results we did a little more digging and found the blighter!

We FOUND YA Good buddy!

But before you read on....  listening on 40m a week or so ago we did pick up this person talking to another UK amateur. The lovely person our 'multi clicker ' was in a QSO with thought that our site was fun & said 

"It did make me chuckle a lot"

But our Mr. Clicker was picked up telling this HAM (who has a lovely Robin Hood Super 7 for sale) "I never get involved with things like that, its a bit like things going around the playground at school...... I haven't got any time for this sort of thing and the ONLY way to deal with them is to totally ignore them" (sound advice) "all they want is a response and once you give them a response your just fueling their activities even further" He then promptly went on and changed the subject "don't lets talk about it anymore it just feeds the fire! Hows that 990 of yours going?"

You see the thing here is once you interact with anything on the internet you leave a trail of poop that can be followed. Its amazing what internet poop most donkeys leave behind!

So lets dig through this internet poop & see what we find chaps.

Most internet connections from cable companies actually give out a static IP address, even that is if they tell you that your IP is not static. The logs show that IP address 213.105.35.130 was the address of the internet user that made over 100 votes on the poll.

Tracing the IP address back to its originator node we found the following:

Hmmmmmm cpc5-duns6-2'-cust***.9.3.cable.virginmedia.com ?? looks interesting!

Put a network trace onto that and we find: Dunstable,Bedfordshire,United Kingdom

Google internet node reference together with the IP address together with the above gives (one of many but this one will do):

So far it looks like too many coincidences are beginning to come together here.
