Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests: 2020, and the decade from 2011 to 2020

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 2020, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 9,916 53
YT5A 9,459 55
DF0HQ 9,248 53
II2S 7,000 46
ES9C 6,951 45
RL3A 6,890 46
EA8RM 6,795 43
LZ5R 6,591 44
UB7K 6,565 43
E7DX 6,459 41

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, for example, if a station worked LZ9W on six bands, that will increment the value in the second column of the LZ9W row by six. The third column is the percentage of logs that contain the callsign at least once.

Similarly, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW CW 2020 were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CR3W 14,512 69
LZ9W 11,614 67
YT5A 11,190 65
TI7W 9,471 48
ZF1A 9,157 47
LN8W 8,993 55
CR6K 8,563 49
RM9A 8,476 51
LZ5R 8,332 54
OM7M 8,251 55

Note the substantial difference between the SSB and CW tables.

I find it interesting to see which stations have had the most long-term activity on the contests. For the ten years from 2011 to 2020 on SSB we find:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 89,249 55
CN3A 81,518 53
DF0HQ 80,576 53
PJ2T 66,941 41
K3LR 66,338 46
OT5A 64,399 43
A73A 62,605 43
P33W 62,540 43
HG7T 60,871 44
TM6M 58,211 43

And for the same years on CW:

Callsign Appearances % logs
LZ9W 102,880 66
9A1A 97,305 61
PJ2T 88,148 52
P33W 78,611 52
DF0HQ 78,010 53
W3LPL 74,284 49
K3LR 70,112 48
LZ5R 69,355 53
PJ4A 67,404 48
ES9C 67,220 45
