The May QST arrived today 'way out west here, and of course I looked at
the CW SS results first off. Interesting comments in the writeup about
"tougher log checking", saying that "log checking was the toughest in
years...". Good show, glad to see that everyone is being scrutinized and
the days of the "golden, error free logs" have gone by the wayside. Here
are some interesting statistics (they're not just for baseball):
(scores are listed in the order of claimed standings per "claimed scores"
on the ARRL web site):
CALL Claimed Q's Printed Q's Q's lost % lost Printed standing
=====================================================================
W0SD (WD0T) 1516 1486 30 1.97% 1
N2IC 1484 1452 32 2.16% 2
W5WMU (N6TR) 1481 1450 31 2.09% 3
WB0O 1467 1434 33 2.25% 5
K1TO 1461 1439 22 1.51% 4
W6GO (N6IG) 1413 1378 35 2.47% 7
K5GN 1409 1373 36 2.56% 9
K6LL 1398 1377 21 1.50% 8
K5BN (K5GA) 1397 1371 26 1.86% 10
N7TR 1397 1366 31 2.22% 11
WX0B (NM5M) 1419 1389 30 2.11% ?????
K7UP (KN5H) 1383 1379 4 (!) 0.28% 6 (!)
Congrats to KN5H for having such a low error rate and moving from #12
claimed to #6 printed. All scores were 79 mults except for WX0B which
had 77, explaining his absence from the top ten.
Again, good job to Newington on being so "tight" on log checking. The
range of scores/lost Q's in the top 10 isn't that far apart...KN5H being
the exception! There is always one in every crowd...
73, Jim N6IG
