>From published sources, I've combined into an online spreadsheet the final
score for each WRTC Team, including the logging software and equipment
used, plus a column for each on-site referee.
You may view this online as a Google Spreadsheet, here:
https://bit.ly/WRTC2018Results (link is case-sensitive)
Click the Tabs at the bottom of the page to display the summary by software
and radio model. Win-Test just edged out N1MM Software among the WRTC
teams. The Elecraft K3 was the most popular radio model by a wide margin,
followed by Icom, Kenwood, and Flex.
You may use the *File | Download As ...* menu to save you own copy of the
spreadsheet in various formats (Excel, PDF, comma-delimited, etc.).
Links to far more detailed Excel spreadsheets that include band breakdowns
and accuracy reports may be found here:

I find it interesting that the top four teams all used the same logging
software (Win-Test), but none used Elecraft. The top four all selected
200W radios (save for one TS-850). Given that each team was strictly
limited to 100W max, I'm left wondering if the 200W radios provided more
"average talk power" on phone, perhaps giving them a slight advantage on
that mode? It's not a clear conclusion one can draw from the numbers, but
a curious result.
