Following up with some additional info on my CQ WPX RTTY Contest Summary I have noted the following:
A) 340 contacts made during the contest have so far been confirmed via LoTW which is almost 40% confirmed in less then 1 week. More will trickle in and I would expect a total rate in the 50% range.
B) There were 9 call signs that I worked on 4 bands. 3 of those 9 were outside of the US. I worked 32 call signs on 3 bands of which 11 were outside of the US.
C) US stations accounted for 53% of all contacts followed by Canada at 4.7%, Germany at 4.3%, Spain at 2.9% and Italy at 2.6%.
D) Out of the 436 different WPX prefixes, the US led with 176 (40%), Germany with 26, Ukraine with 17, Canada with 17 and Spain with 13.
Here’s a map of the contacts made in the contest. I loaded the records into Ham Radio Deluxe and exported the records into a Google Earth KML file. I don’t have Google Earth installed on this computer so I then loaded the KML file to one of my web sites and in Google Maps I referenced the KML file via a URL and it generates the map.
73 & good DX,
