The accuracy leaders table on the ARRL contest webpage is incorrect for
some of the categories.
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ContestResults/2019/Accuracy%20Tables%20-%202019%20-%20Version%201_0.pdf
For example they show PJ2T (1.5%) having the lowest error rate among DX
multi-ops.
PJ4A at .007 (or .07%) , 6Y5M at .07% and CR3W also at .07% are lower.
FY5KE had the lowest error rate at .05% (.005 x 100)
KI1G shows and error rate of 1.4 % in Single-Op Unlimited but K5ZD ,
AB3CX are lower at .07%. WE9V is also lower at .08%.
There are some other errors as well.

The DX Contest results article in September QST (now available via the
ARRL homepage) is just as awful.
Someone at ARRL HQ needs to undertake a serious review of how contest
results are reported in QST. IMHO contest results articles should not be
directed at the committed contester audience, every one of us knows where
to look for the on-line results. The articles should be written to attract the
interest of the not-yet-committed.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] ARRL DX CW Contest in QST
I received my August QST the other day, as the original one was returned to
the ARRL for some reason and they sent another to me, and other than the
poor coverage of the ARRL CW DX contest, I thought it was one of the more
interesting issues I have received recently. Both articles on Mount Athos
were well written, and the article on the Collins KWM-380 was also a nice
read. "The Doctor is in" also had some intelligent questions this time.

Thank you, there are many many others like Ed N1UR who feel the
same way.
Many big and little guns spend a lot of effort/money/time
getting ready
through out the year for this event. We all deserve better.
Ed's comment about advertisers all being in the back of the
magazine also
is correct. In all honesty I rarely look at these. I am
sure I am not alone in
this . A few advertisements scattered through out the
magazine I believe
would get a better return to the advertisers
investment .

I am not sure if anyone else was struck like I was as to how sad it was
that QST was down to 2 pages for the ARRL DX CW coverage in the August
magazine. No write-up, just some top 10 totals boxes and plaque
winners.
I never understood why QST dumps virtually all of its adds in the back.
It's an advertiser's nightmare. Why not allow a couple of advertisers
to
sponsor a 6 page spread per contest on the 2 ARRL DX contests and get
their
ads conspicuously displayed? I am thinking they would be interested.
