CQWW 2016 SSB logs now public

Please see http://cqww.com/publiclogs/2016ph/

For the last two years, the contest community has used the public logs to assist the CQWW Contest Committee in finding possible “issues” with some of the logs.  We look forward to your feedback again this year.

You may send your findings and concerns at: https://cqww.com/contact

Please base your findings and concerns on an actual log review and not simply on your suspicions.

Thank you!

 

 

Tracking the assisted trend, part 2 (SSB Low Power)

Last week, we looked at SSB High Power, SOAB.  This time we do the same, but for SOAB Low Power.

The two tables below show all continental data for SOAB Low Power.

The graphic below shows only AS, EU, and NA because of the higher volume of entrants.

The trend is similar to what was found for High Power.

Next time, we’ll look at CW.

Please note the scale for the Y axis (above).

 

Tracking the assisted trend (SSB)

The CQWW Contest committee is busy working on the 2016 logs.

2016 CQ WW DX Contest Phone Raw Scores

Just 8.5 days after the end of the 2016 CQ WW DX Contest Phone, we are happy to report that the raw scores for all entries received by 8Nov2016 1200z are available on the web site.

http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=ph

The raw scores are the calculated score before any log checking or other adjustments are made. These scores may not match what you submitted exactly as our country file may be different than yours and you may have some QSOs where the call/country could not be determined.

These are NOT the final results.  Scores may change by 5-10% (or more) depending on the log checking.  Final results will appear in the March 2017 issue of CQ Magazine.

Please send any questions about the raw scores at: https://cqww.com/contact.
