WIA Centenary

With the WIA's special Centenary callsign VK100WIA now QRT, analysis of the logbook yields some interesting statistics.

With the log book now finalised at 24,440 contacts David Park VK3JDA has carried out some further in-depth analysis of its 611 pages.

The 40m band had 10,500 contacts, followed in popularity by 80m with 5,000, 20m 4,100 and 2m just over 3,000. In fact 12 bands were used by VK100WIA ranging from 160m through to 23cm.

Looking at the modes used, as would be expected SSB comes up triumphs with 19,000 contacts, and CW got a very good pounding with nearly 1400 QSOs logged.

Others listed as modes in the log were AM, IRLP, D-STAR, PSK, JT65C, SSTV, ATV, APRS and one EME or moon bounce contact.

Thank you to David VK3JDA for the analysis report, which appears in full with graphs on the WIA website, and the WIA affiliated clubs who put VK100WIA on air.
