Anyone preparing for a competitive CQ WW entry is interested in knowing the record score for their planned category – at the world, continent, zone, or country level. Or perhaps you are doing well in the contest and want to see if you have a chance to set a new record…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find out easily by going to the records page. There is one page for the traditional categories<\/a> and one for the Overlay categories<\/a>. Both list all category records for the selected region (world, continent, country).<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also a page that shows all traditional category records listed by CQ Zone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you may wonder what new records were set in any year. We made a page that lets you find the new records for a selected year. There is a new records page for the traditional categories<\/a> and one for the overlay categories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you click on the category for one of the new records, it will show you all the scores for that region and category since the beginning of CQ WW. It’s a great way to see how the new record beats the previous entries. Many times, it is just by a few points!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be fun to look back at the winner of a particular category over the years. There is a page that shows the winners for any selected region and category<\/a>. It is amazing to see how much the winning single-op all-band scores have increased since the 1970s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone likes high rates. Since 2004, we have been determining the highest 60-minute rate for each entry during the log checking. The rate records for the major categories and both modes are available on the Highest QSO Rates<\/a> page. If you don’t see your call on the page, there is a search box where you can enter a callsign and see the highest rate for all entries where that was the entry callsign or an operator. It creates your own personal rate record page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And finally, to complete our fun with data, there is a page for the number of CQ WW entries over the years<\/a>. There is another page that lists the number of entries for each category<\/a>. You can filter these by world, continent, or region. It is an interesting way to see how CQ WW has evolved over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have questions or find an error in one of the tables, please use the contact form<\/a> to report it to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anyone preparing for a competitive CQ WW entry is interested in knowing the record score for their planned category – at the world, continent, zone, or country level.
