Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests: 2022, and the decade from 2013 to 2022

 

 

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 2022, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
CN3A	13,594	67
D4Z	13,316	65
EA8RM	11,390	60
PJ2T	10,858	55
LZ9W	10,355	54
YT5A	10,305	56
M6T	10,144	57
ZF1A	9,997	52
CR6K	9,501	53
EI7M	9,043	53

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 2022 were:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
CN3A	13,813	73
CR3W	12,863	70
CR3DX	12,536	70
TK0C	12,244	67
PJ2T	11,740	62
9A1A	11,493	70
M6T	11,287	67
YT5A	11,213	69
LZ9W	11,212	67
PJ4K	10,782	62

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 2013 to 2022 on SSB we find:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
LZ9W	92,330	54
DF0HQ	82,118	52
CN3A	80,296	47
PJ2T	72,106	41
K3LR	67,045	45
P33W	65,063	43
YT5A	61,848	41
OT5A	61,569	41
M6T	61,158	42
HG7T	60,364	42

And for the same years on CW:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
LZ9W	105,626	66
PJ2T	92,594	52
9A1A	87,996	54
P33W	80,653	52
YT5A	80,559	56
DF0HQ	78,569	53
CR3W	77,846	46
TK0C	73,181	44
LZ5R	71,922	53
ES9C	71,108	46
