[CQ-Contest] RBN question

[Michael Adams]

I think you're looking at the magic of propagation at work.

>From my little pistol station (100 watts and wires in W1 land), HG and F stations are easy to work.   A UA9 deep in zone 17, however...that's good DX for me.

Also, my path to that part of Russia goes further north than the path to western or central Europe, and geomagnetic conditions this weekend were disturbed.

Dear Experts,

I created a quick statistics sheet on RBN figures of the ARRL DX CW contest.
I took 4  SOSB 20M stations: HG0Y, HG5E, TM4W and UA9YBA.
Here is how many times they were spotted by RBN in North America:
HG0Y:  14236
HG5E:  16648
TM4W:  16223
UA9YBA: 4918

According to 3830scores.com and contestonlinescore.com pages these are the QSO numbers:
HG0Y:   1005
HG5E:    902
TM4W:   1139
UA9YBA:  967

My question: how could it be that three stations were spotted by RBN three times more than UA9YBA?
I listened to UA9YBA at the end of the contest and his CQ was absolutely
correct: "CQ UA9YBA UA9YBA TEST".
