VE6WZ DXCC, WAZ, WORKED TOTALS BY BAND SINCE 1998
DXCC total since 1998; 340 |
|
All-time DXCC totals are
not the best measure of a stations DX capabilities. Annual
DX results more accurately reflect the current station capabilities rather than
many years of historical activity, possibly spread over multiple QTH's with
different equipment and spanning multiple solar cycles. Collecting
annual data is also useful for studying DX success as a function of solar
activity. (a seven year statistical study of 80m DX at VE6WZ is summarized
here: Click
) A 10yr. 80-160m EU study is
here Each winter DX season at VE6WZ DXCC totals are summarized for 80 and 160m. Beginning on September 1, and ending around March 30, worked DXCC entities are totaled by the logging program. Below is a table showing the past results since 1999. (for some years a link to a table showing the entities worked is included) There certainly appears to be a correlation with increased Low-Band DXCC entities worked and lower geo-magnetic activity during the low flux years 2008-2010 !! |
