Club Log’s most wanted list is available at any time from this URL: https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php The data set which creates this list is derived from QSOs uploaded by users, so with the exception of a certain amount of noise from bad logging, it is a factual (certainly, empirical) result. The percentages indicated next to each entity […]
A few years ago I produced a report, calculated by Club Log, which showed which modes were in use on the air. Unfortunately, the report became a little too intensive to run regularly, but I was recently reminded to run this report again and see if anything had changed. The percentage of QSOs in the […]
As promised, here are the slides from the RSGB Convention DX presentation I made on 12/13th October 2013. The slides discuss our travels through Chile, to Easter Island and back including various notes on the history of Rapa Nui and our exploits on the bands. Sorry the file is quite large – there is a […]
For the past few months I have been running a survey about Online QSL Requests (OQRS). The objective of this survey has been to understand the preferences and mood of the DX Community. The important question is about bureau cards that can be ordered free of charge from Club Log when OQRS is used. The […]
A question that comes up in the context of DXpeditions is just how many uniques are there out there? We’re aware that there are at least 50,000 (a record set by T32C in 2011) but can we estimate the full size of the population? I ran a short database analysis against Club Log’s records for […]

I’m very happy to announce that the Yasme Foundation has awarded Club Log a grant of $2,000! Club Log is built to be run on a frugal platform using just one server, and part of the fun and games has been making the software fit into limited resources. Keeping up with the enthusiasm of expeditions […]
I’m now QRV until around 9 September as GO7VJR. As usual, you can QSL via M0OXO for a card or LoTW, updated every day. There is a great deal of trouble with the use of the Olympic logo (even saying the words “twenty twelve”) due to sponsors etc. I took a fairly conservative route and […]
My local club, Cambridge University Wireless Society, has recently updated its shack to a new structure (to replace an aging old shed which we lovingly referred to as Woop-Woop II). Woop-Woop II was originally constructed in the 1970s, and when we finally disassembled it I found a small log fragment from 1978 which has been […]
