Busting Calls: CQ WW 2021

Prior posts in this series:
Throughout this post, I apply the procedures developed in the second post above.

For the purpose of this post, only verified QSOs are counted.

Lowest Probability

I begin with an ordered list of the stations with the lowest probabilities of busting a call in 2021 CQ WW SSB.

2021 CQ WW SSB -- weighted mean values of $p_{bust}$ (all)
Position Call weighted mean $Q_v$ $B$
1 DF2RG 0.0010 998 0
2 DK1KC 0.0010 997 0
3 DL8RDL 0.0010 951 0
4 OH7GGX 0.0010 942 0
5 M3AWD 0.0010 923 0
6 CA3CLF 0.0010 912 0

8 R7MM 0.0014 696 0
9 PG7M 0.0014 693 0
10 K2EP 0.0014 692 0

And for 2021 CQ WW CW:

2021 CQ WW CW -- weighted mean values of $p_{bust}$ (all)
Position Call weighted mean $Q_v$ $B$
1 UA3AP 0.0005 1,932 0
2 DL4FN 0.0005 1,925 0

8 R5FQ 0.0010 949 0
9 N7IR 0.0010 944 0
10 YU1LM 0.0010 940 0

It is interesting to plot the aggregated probability function for $p_{bust}$ weighted by the verified number of QSOs, $Q_v$, for all stations:


In case it isn't clear, the location of the solid vertical lines represent the weighted means of the probability curves.

We can limit the analysis to calling stations (i.e., not the running station).

We can also look at the changes over the period from 2005 to 2021.

First for all QSOs:

Then for calling stations:

 

And for running stations:

 

I think it's also interesting to see who appears to have the lowest probability of busting a call over an extended period. So, for the last ten years:


2012--2021 CQ WW SSB -- weighted mean values of $p_{bust}$ (all)
Position Call weighted mean $Q_v$ $B$
1 IK4OMU 0.0007 1,424 0
2 K0PC 0.0007 1,419 0

9 OR2A 0.0008 1,140 0
10 IZ4JMA 0.0008 1,129 0

2012--2021 CQ WW CW -- weighted mean values of $p_{bust}$ (all)
Position Call weighted mean $Q_v$ $B$
1 HL1VAU 0.0002 4,324 0
2 NW0M 0.0002 3,532 0
3 SE6N 0.0004 5,304 1

9 DL4FN 0.0005 8,263 3
10 KM3T 0.0005 1,826 0

A good argument can be made that a better measure of copying ability is to consider only run QSOs:

Highest Probability

We can also look at the calls associated with the highest probability of busting calls in either the forward or the reverse direction:

In tables of reverse busts, one sometimes finds what seems like an unreasonable number of reverse busts (as, in the last two tables, for CA3CLF, OH3ZG and R2VM). This is generally caused by a discrepancy between the call actually sent by the listed station and the one recorded as being sent in at least some QSOs in the station's log.
