#CQWWCW contest results in. Analysing log errors, I see that my contest call is too short (EE5E), but also that there is long-time famous contester (SE5E) and many log their call sign instead of mine.
I confess I have made the usual 0/9 7/8 2/3 and L/R errors too often. Detailed log check reports are great tools to improve one's Morse code operation.
Evolution of the percentage of run QSOs in #CQWW, 2005 to 2025.
Says quite a lot about the state of things, doesn't it?
These are probably better indicators of long-term activity than the raw number of logs submitted for #CQWW.

The public logs for the 2025 #CQWWCW contest are now available in this directory:
Down nearly 800 QSOs from last year's #cqwwcw contest. All the runs here were thin, until the last hour or so of the contest on 10m. Like almost every contest this year, down around 30% from last year: the solar peak is definitely over.
