Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests, 2017

The public CQ WW CW and SSB logs allow us easily to tabulate the stations that appear in the largest number of entrants' logs. For 2017, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CN3A 10,347 62
EF8R 9,099 56
CN2R 8,649 55
LZ9W 8,251 53
CN2AA 8,090 54
ES9C 7,941 53
M6T 7,856 52
A73A 7,501 47
PZ5K 7,481 45
DF0HQ 7,372 50

The first column in the table is the callsign. The second column is the total number of times that the call appears in logs. That is, if a station worked CN3A on six bands, that will increment the value in the second column of the CN3A row by six. The third column is the percentage of logs that contain the callsign at least once.

For comparison, here is the equivalent table for 2016:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CN3A 8,696 57
CN2R 8,333 55
9A1A 8,111 53
LZ9W 8,072 52
PJ2T 7,729 45
EF8R 7,677 53
YT8A 7,629 50
CN2AA 7,268 51
PJ4X 7,087 44
DF0HQ 6,752 47

Similarly, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW CW 2017 were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
TK0C 10,719 63
9A1A 10,594 65
M6T 9,884 62
CR3W 9,783 61
YT5A 9,692 63
PJ2T 9,661 53
EF8R 9,538 60
LZ9W 9,257 60
V47T 9,128 55
CN2AA 9,092 58

And the equivalent table for 2016:

Callsign Appearances % logs
HK1NA10,27759
9A1A9,92163
TK0C9,68261
CN2R9,67563
PJ2T9,56953
CR3W9,35460
LZ9W9,09159
CN2AA8,91259
P33W8,66156
EF8R8,40957

We can also perform the same analysis for, say, a ten-year span, to show which stations have most consistently appeared in other stations' logs. So, for CQ WW SSB for the period 2008 to 2017, we find:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 82,463 57
CN3A 79,752 59
DF0HQ 77,755 56
OT5A 71,370 53
PJ2T 69,695 47
K3LR 69,026 51
P33W 65,432 50
A73A 60,563 46
CN2R 60,356 48
DR1A 56,425 40

 And for CW over the same span:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 92,842 66
9A1A 88,714 62
PJ2T 87,728 57
DF0HQ 82,412 62
P33W 72,498 54
W3LPL 71,859 52
K3LR 71,438 52
LX7I 69,457 53
PJ4A 68,654 52
D4C 65,049 43
