Everyone posts their DX totals now, so I 
			figured it might be fun to crunch my old contest logs.  These 
			numbers are from ONLY contest logs (both as K1KAA and N0HI).  
			My own personal DX'ing is not reflected in these totals.  The 
			numbers below are WORKED, not confirmed.  Someday I'll get 
			around to going through all of the cards.  I'll try to keep 
			this current.

These numbers say a good deal about station 
			weaknesses; i.e., low band numbers are quite low.  You can also 
			tell which band is my personal favorite (15), which wouldn't be 
			reflected in contest-only totals except that I tend to have more 15m 
			antennas than any other band.  The single VHF country is the 
			USA, since we do no VHF activity other than using the local repeater 
			for talk-in.  I've worked RTTY before, but never in a contest 
			(though the station is 100% capable).

			

			
Percentages of QSO's by Contest:

			

				

					Contest
					% of all
					Rank
				

				

					CQWW SSB
					25
					2
				

				

					CQWW CW
					27
					1
				

				

					ARRL DX SSB
					14
					3
				

				

					ARRL DX CW
					12
					4
				

				

					CQ WPX SSB
					2
					8t
				

				

					CQ WPX CW
					4
					6t
				

				

					ARRL 10M
					3
					7
				

				

					ARRL SS SSB
					4
					6t
				

				

					ARRL SS CW
					7
					5
				

				

					Other
					2
					8t
				

			

			
These results are interesting.  I'm surprised 
			so many contest Q's came from SS CW.  I was also surprised by 
			how low my WPX totals are; I suspect this is from operating SSB with 
			the NE1C crew at K1TTT about 7 or 8 years straight, and just never 
			being able to play much on CW.  The CQWW tests are far and away 
			the largest source of Q's.

			

			
Most Worked Stations:

			

				

					4O3A/YT6A
					22
				

				

					SO2R
					18
				

				

					PJ2T
					17
				

				

					D4B
					16
				

			

			
These numbers are from every contest run from my 
			station (@N0HI, @K1KAA).  These include a bunch of different 
			operating callsigns we've used; the total QSO pool this statistic 
			was extracted from was not able to be segregated by our callsign.  
			It would be interesting to see if the most worked as N0HI were also 
			the most worked as K1KAA.  This is also a testament to how LOUD 
			Ranko's place (4O3A ex. YT6A) is into the U.S. East Coast.
