[CQ-Contest] CQWW SSB and CW Record Number of Entries

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

You can actually answer this question at http://www.cqww.com/stats.htm

As we know, the problem is the cost of pages in a paper magazine.  The good
news is that you can have band breakdowns for EVERY entry in the contest on
the web site.
