I just sent out the email announcing the release of the June 2015 version of
the SuperCheckPartial database and thought it would be fun to look at some
statistics from the log pool used for this release.
Consistent with the original policy put in place by Randy K5ZD, SCP is
generated from a rolling 24 month set of logs submitted to
logs@supercheckpartial.com<mailto:logs@supercheckpartial.com> by contest
PARTICIPANTS. Although several contest sponsors now provide public access to
the logs submitted to their contests, the original policy still stands and
these log pools are NOT included in SCP.
I get several requests each month to remove old callsigns no longer in use or
add new callsigns not yet seen in action – these are all handled manually
typically within a couple of days of the request. Although there is the
option to block someone’s callsign from SCP, in the year since I took over
responsibility for SCP from Bob WA1Z, I have not had a single such request.
The macro level statistics of the number of logs, number of unique calls etc
are published on the SCP web site for each release. A note on “calls in
master.dta” number – to be included in the MASTER file, a call must have been
seen at least 6 times across all the QSO records. This is a threshold function
to help eliminate busted calls. The latest history of these stats is
available on:
http://supercheckpartial.com/history.htm
Here’s a few additional stats for your amusement/interest :-)
Number of logs in pool by year:
2013: 1279
2014: 2327
2015: 1084
This won’t tie to the number of logs in the history stats as those also include
a number of “dummy” logs that are used to include new callsigns not yet seen in
the pool. Since we are mid-year, the numbers from 2013/2015 are for half years.
There used to be a separate RTTY version of SCP until that was deprecated a
couple of years ago. But for interest..
Number of RTTY logs in pool: 927
This may understate the actual number since these are logs from contests with
RTTY in the contest name – I think this gets the first order approximation
pretty close however.
The log pool as I mentioned at the beginning is from logs submitted by contest
participants. So here are some stats on the number of unique participants and
also the most prolific!
Number of unique log submitters: 1297
Top 20 log submitters and the number of logs they have submitted:
