I just ran a sample of my SS CW log through the fcc database to check
the license class. Out of 53 callsigns (every 25th call in the log),
there were 49 Extras, 1 Advanced, and 3 Generals. Fifty of anything is
usually a pretty good statistical sample. I stayed in the General band
for almost all of the contest.
I was curious as to the advisability of calling cq in the Extra
subband. On one hand, 93% is a lot of Extras. On the other hand, the
top scores are so closely grouped in that contest, that you would hate
to exclude 7% of the population. I think I'll stay above 025.
