Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests, 2018

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 2018, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in (augmented) CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CN3A 9,585 61
D4C 8,440 55
EF8R 8,369 56
ES9C 7,649 50
LZ9W 7,643 48
M6T 7,249 49
FY5KE 7,158 46
PZ5K 7,089 46
PJ4G 6,898 43
DF0HQ 6,746 46

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 2017:

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

Similarly, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW CW 2018 were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
EF8R 12,063 72
CN3A 11,603 70
P33W 10,804 67
CR3DX 10,546 67
9A1A 10,518 69
TK0C 10,318 65
LZ9W 10,026 67
M6T 9,785 65
ES9C 9,521 62
PJ2T 9,455 57

And the equivalent table for 2017:

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

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 2009 to 2018, we find:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 84,898 56
CN3A 84,806 59
DF0HQ 78,670 54
PJ2T 71,826 47
OT5A 71,036 51
K3LR 69,954 49
P33W 66,944 49
A73A 63,280 46
CN2R 59,700 45
V26B 57,338 41

And for CW over the same span:

Callsign Appearances % logs
9A1A 99,223 67
LZ9W 96,166 66
PJ2T 91,295 57
DF0HQ 84,414 61
P33W 83,190 59
W3LPL 74,354 52
K3LR 73,820 52
PJ4A 69,920 51
LX7I 66,448 50
CR3L 64,432 44
