RE:  recent "beacon" activity + associated "comments"

So OUTSIDE of contest, is there really a DX "hot spot" on 160?

Sounded like a fun project.  I went to DX Summit (a reasonable source) and 
asked for 1000
of the most recent spots on 160 (I think I selected CW).

About 100 of them were for Ws and VEs, so I deleted those (not "DX") from the 
protester's
perspective.

I then sorted by callsign and found the distribution per QRG (round to the 
nearest integer).

Here is what I found

I know the columns don't line up, but you get the idea.  Remember, this is a 
count of
CALLSIGNS
