My CQ WW SSB 2017 QRP Log Report

It is always interesting to look back at the scores and trying to remember the exact moments in the contact where you screwed up copying or the station you worked copying it wrong...It is so much harder in QRP contesting. Mostly I remember calling and calling and finally getting through ...then the sinking feeling that the receiving station may have not copied correctly. I suppose the big take away is that you just move on and hope for the best. Lol!

My results compared to the average:

I was 3.2% higher than the average Score Reduction.

I was 2.3 % below the average Error Rate .

I was 4.9 % higher than the average for Busted Exchanges

And .3% lower than the average for Busted Calls.


Well here is my final log report:

Explanation of the report sections:
 
Summary - A summary of the log checking results and final score for 
your entry.

Results by Band - This is a band-by-band breakdown of the QSOs, 
points and multipliers for your entry.

Not In Log - These contacts were not found in the other station's 
log. QSO removed with additional penalty of 2x QSO points.

Incorrectly Copied - The call logged for these contacts was 
determined to be incorrect. QSO removed with additional penalty 
of 2x QSO points.

Incorrect Exchange Information - The information you copied does not 
match what was in the other station's log. The QSO was removed.

Band Change Violations (Multi-One or Multi-Two only) - These contacts 
violated the band change rules for the category. The QSO was removed.

Unique Calls Worked - These calls were not found in any other log.  
They have not been removed, but our experience indicates they are 
often the result of copying errors.

Lost Multipliers - This section lists the multipliers that were lost 
in your log due to callsign, exchange, or other copying errors. 
-C indicates lost country and -Z indicates lost zone.

Multipliers by band - This section lists the zones and countries 
that were counted as multipliers in your log.

Stations Copying Your Exchange Incorrectly - This is a list of 
contacts where the station you worked copied your exchange 
incorrectly. You do not lose credit for these contacts.  They 
are provided for your information. 

Stations Copying Call Incorrectly - This is a list of all contacts we 
could identify where the station you worked copied your call incorrectly. 
You do not lose credit for these contacts. They are provided for your 
information. If you have many similar errors, you should concentrate 
on ways to send your call differently that may be easier for others 
to correctly copy.

All logs are checked using custom software.  Please send any questions
to questions@cqww.com. 

The decisions of the CQ WW Contest Committee are final.
