QSO statistics up to 2023

With a rainy day decided to extract some statistics from my logbook, I like stats...

Countries worked per band. Note I just got to DXCC, 100 countries on 17m and 30m. 10m will be next with 90 countries. I get very few new countries on 12m, 15m, 40m and 80m, mainly due to just dipoles on these bands.

WAS per band. 10m and 10m are on 50 US States, 17m only have a couple more to go with 48 States.

QSOs per band. See 40m is the most popular, mainly from park and SOTA chasing and activating. 10m is next, my favourite band.

QSOs per continent. Not surprisingly OC, Oceania where I live most popular, followed by NA, North America, following the seasons. Asia is always easy to work. Europe rather seasonal. Africa and South America are rare for me.

Total QSOs per month. A big spike in October/November last year. Sort of seasonal as bands pick up in the equinoxes, also depends on what else I do other than make QSOs.
