Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests: 2023, and the decade from 2014 to 2023

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 2023, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
CN3A	16,064	73
YT5A	11,799	58
LZ9W	11,419	57
PJ4K	11,268	57
9A1A	11,106	56
M6T	10,812	56
V26B	10,091	53
CR6K	9,983	54
ZF1A	9,918	50
DF0HQ	9,749	54

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 ZF1A on six bands, that will increment the value in the second column of the ZF1A 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 2023 were:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
D4C	16,225	77
CN3A	14,690	75
CR3W	13,164	69
CR3A	12,924	72
M6T	12,301	68
9A1A	12,185	69
PJ2T	11,636	63
PJ4K	11,527	66
YT5A	11,428	67
LZ9W	11,416	66

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 2014 to 2023 on SSB we find:

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
LZ9W	94,304	55
CN3A	87,218	50
DF0HQ	83,779	53
YT5A	73,470	47
PJ2T	71,101	40
M6T	70,468	46
P33W	66,574	43
K3LR	65,996	44
LZ5R	59,992	43
HG7T	59,939	42

And for the same years on CW: 

Callsign	Appearances	% logs
LZ9W	106,792	66
PJ2T	93,172	52
CR3W	91,010	53
YT5A	90,359	60
9A1A	88,575	54
P33W	80,240	52
DF0HQ	78,857	53
M6T	77,761	51
TK0C	73,181	44
RM9A	72,315	48
