CQ WW SSB public logs for 2018

The logs for the 2018 running of the CQ WW SSB contest have been made available by CQ.

In addition to the files made available by CQ (one log per file), the same logs can be downloaded from here in the form of a compressed archive that contains all the logs in a single file (~15MB).

CQ WW Zone Pair QSOs: 2017

This post shows the number of QSOs for pairs of zones from the CQ WW contests for 2017. The plots are created from the augmented file (cq-ww-2005--2017-augmented.xz; see here for details of the augmented format) derived from the public logs.

The procedure is simple. We consider only QSOs that meet the following criteria:

1. marked as "two-way" QSOs (i.e., both parties submitted a log containing the QSO);
2. no callsign or zone is bust by either party.

A counter is maintained for every pair of zones (i.e., 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 ... 40-39, 40-40) and the pertinent counter is incremented once for each distinct QSO between stations in those zones.

Separate figures are provided for each band, led by a figure integrating QSOs on all bands. The figures are constructed in such a way as to show the results for both the SSB and CW contests on a single figure. (Any zone pair with no QSOs that meet the above criteria appears in black on the figures.)
