Most-Logged Stations in CQ WW CW and SSB Contests: 2025, and the decade from 2016 to 2025

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 2025, the ten stations with the largest number of appearances in CQ WW SSB logs were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CN3A 15,582 68
ES9C 15,242 67
UA7K 12,765 58
CR3A 12,508 62
P33W 12,248 58
M6T 12,194 58
LZ9W 11,953 56
V26B 11,752 55
II9P 11,353 57
RU1A 11,261 57


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 V26B on six bands, that will increment the value in the second column of the V26B 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 2025 were:

Callsign Appearances % logs
TK0C 15,843 74
CN3A 15,363 75
CR3A 13,457 70
CR3W 13,147 67
ES9C 13,013 67
PJ4K 12,694 66
ZF5T 12,400 61
M6T 11,982 65
9A1A 11,639 66
PJ2T 11,508 57


I find it interesting to see which stations have had the most long-term activity on the contests. For the ten years from 2016 to 2025 on SSB we find:

Callsign Appearances % logs
CN3A 99,447 52
LZ9W 99,238 55
M6T 88,198 52
DF0HQ 87,426 52
YT5A 78,696 47
PJ2T 76,333 41
P33W 75,148 45
K3LR 70,681 45
V26B 70,490 40
CR6K 68,342 42


And for the same years on CW: 

Callsign Appearances % logs
CR3W 116,962 66
LZ9W 106,651 65
M6T 96,631 57
PJ2T 95,867 52
YT5A 92,472 59
TK0C 91,591 52
9A1A 89,480 53
CN3A 82,187 43
LN8W 81,036 52
DF0HQ 78,816 52
