Reverse NILs in CQ WW: 2021; 2012 to 2021

 

The basic notion of reverse NILs (rNILs; or, I suppose, RNILs) is described here, along with a description of a simple script for calculating rNILs for CQ WW contests and the result of applying that code to the contests for 2005. See also the comments at the end of that post. I would be delighted if anyone who spots any errors in the script would inform me.

We can also look at the results for periods of ten years at a time; the only difference in the way that these decadal tables are calculated is that the minimum number of rQSOs is raised from 50 to 250 for tables pertaining to all QSOs and from 25 to 125 for those pertaining to intra-W QSOs. (That is, the value of the variable MIN_QSOs is changed from 50 to 250.)

Here are the results for 2021 and for the period from 2012 to 2021. As usual, I refrain from comment.

As I write this, the results for the 2021 contests are yet to be announced. I shall, like last year, make a prediction based on the past many years of data that none of the people in the final table of each group whose rNIL rate against Ws exceeds 50% will be disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct. In fact, I predict that none of them will even be investigated in order to determine the reason for what appears on its face to be an excessive rNIL rate against Ws. Year after year, the situation remains the same.

(I do note that rNILs do occur naturally when one of the two operators is a bit sloppy, and a rate that is higher against Ws than against non-Ws could [possibly] be explained as a natural occurrence: for example, the running W operator hears two callers, one W and one DX, and the running station would normally go back to and work the DX station if he can, while the W caller might sloppily believe that he was being worked. What is concerning, though, and should reasonably be a cause for further investigation, is when the rNIL rate against Ws greatly exceeds the rate against non-Ws, or when the same calls appear in the tables year after year.)
