In 2010 CQWW I was SOSB 160M and had 2
bad out of 64 raw QSOs = 3.13% (1 NIL, 1 busted copy).
The exchange makes a difference -- in Sweepstakes
CW, my error rate is 2.0 - 2.5%. ARRL 160 and it's simple exchange is
usually a couple tenths %.
Typing accuracy helps a lot. So does complete
familiarity with PCs and your logging software.
What the guys say about "timing NIL" is absolutely
true. Hard to tell if that caller who is 150 Hz off zero beat is calling
someone else or not. When in doubt, ask for confirmation or send his call
with the report. Sometimes I just alter the timing -- send his call twice or add
a "TU" and see if he follows along.

Subject: [SECC] CQWW Error rate?
Hi Folks,
What would be a good "error %" in a contest like CQWW
CW?
% Calls copied incorrectly?
% Calls not in log?
Is there a club competition for "most accurate logs" or
"least accurate logs"?
How good is good and how bad is bad? Is perfection
really achievable?
