[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Survey results - part 1

[David Gilbert]

That's the part that I think a lot of these posts miss.  I hate those 
time wasters as much as anyone else, but I'm certain there are tons of 
casual ops who simply enjoy the extra activity, think they are doing us 
a favor by giving us a contact (they are), and have zero intention of 
submitting a log.

By the way, I've always been curious.  What is the typical ratio for the 
number of non-unique callsigns that show up in a typical CQ contest 
versus the number of logs that actually get submitted?

73,
