[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Online Score Database Completed!

[Stewart GM4AFF]

Well done to the team. This is a great resource which immortalises some
great guys.
I think a search on Sandy GM3BCL produces a nice set of results . He never
had any massive scores, but he didn't miss one SSB CQWW in 48 years. Sadly
now a SK.  I cycled out to his house in 1972 to ask him how I could enter! I
will never forget his amazing shack which contained a full size billiard
table!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQ WW Online Score Database Completed!

The project to convert all scores for the complete history of the CQ WW DX
Contest into an online database has been completed and is now available for
viewing online. In a two year project led by John Golomb N2NC, a team of
volunteers typed in all of the results that appeared in the CQ Magazine
results from 1948 until 2013. The 2014 results will be added as soon as the
results are published.

The historical scores database is available at
http://www.cqww.com/score_db.htm. The total number of entries in the
database are 169,679 for SSB and 169,005 for CW.

We owe a huge thanks to the team that did the data entry:

You can see how the participation has grown over the years by viewing the
charts at http://www.cqww.com/stats.htm

The all-time records for the CQ WW DX Contest are generated from the
database. See http://www.cqww.com/records.htm

Errors are bound to have crept into the results.  Please take a moment to
search for your call and review your entries.  Any corrections or questions
should be sent to questions at cqww.com.

Thanks again to John and his team for helping to create this fantastic
resource!
