Gee whiz. I hate rumors.
First, the only people with a U rate of 50% are people who make 2 QSOs and get
one wrong.
Most U rates are very small (the vast majority are under 0.5%). Yes, that is
one half of 1%.
Please remember that Uniques which are cross-checked to the "valid" QSO become
B or F calls.
Here are the results from a recent contest. Column on the left is Unique
"category." That is
0.5% is for all entrants with 0.0% uniques to 0.5% uniques. 1.0% is for
entrants with more
than 0.5% up to an including 1.0% uniques.
The number "to the right" is the number of calls fitting into that category.
I have not eliminated any U% category which did not have at least 1 "member."
I have
limited this to only entrants with at least 300 QSOs, although it doesn't
change much when
everybody is included.
I hope this puts a damper on all of the wild speculation.
I sure hope this "displays" OK enough to read.
