These data comprise my FT8 receive only logs from about 2022 until now. These logs were collected using my local KiwiSDR and an LZ1AQ loop antenna.

The statistics were generated using Microsoft SSMS and SQL using my data extracted from SWLog. (Thanks Robert Sillett).

Effort was put into sanitizing, de-duping, and ensuring that only one instance of a given station was counted per band.

I will continue to update this page as more logs are gathered. I have a much better directional antenna for 160m and 630m. I will also be investigating other modes.
