Given my uncertainly over the CQWW zones, I generate two set of results, scores with CQWW zones as multipliers, and score with Maidenhead large squares as multipliers. As you can see the order of the competitors changes in only one case. Presumable this happens because one of the zone boundaries does not align with a Maidenhead boundary so either G3NZP or G4PEO gained or lost a multiplier.

Postscript for 19th Feb WSPR Report
Peter, G4FYY tells me he is running two bands – 20m and 40m, so I changed him from single band to all bands and got the following result on the overnight data:
G4FYY Score = CQ zones x band slots = 352
Countries (Entities) heard in = 31 Band slots = 44 CQ zones = 8
Bands Operated = 4
Number of times reported at following power in dBm 23: 1553
This highlights a problem, in that it is difficult to know how to treat the all bands entries in the presence of frequency errors in the reports (for single band entries I just force the band to the band in use) since a frequency error in the database may credit the entrant with an additional slot.

CARC WSPR Competition update 19-February-2016
With 10 days to go including today, I though I would start the daily report with some more global statistics.
The size of the WSPR spots file is now a tad under 700MB. It contains 8,255,358 spots by 2596 observers, some of whom are on multiple bands giving rise to 6706 band observers, who are spread as follows:
2200m observbers = 96
630m observbers = 365
160m observbers = 369
80m observbers = 617
60m observbers = 200
40m observbers = 1088
30m observbers = 1074
20m observbers = 1249
17m observbers = 341
15m observbers = 428
12m observbers = 132
10m observbers = 517
6m observbers = 119
4m observbers = 4
2m observbers = 77
70cm observbers = 19
23cm observbers = 11
There are 593 observations (individual reporst) that I have not been able to allocate to a band, and so have excluded from any analysis (or your scores).
Countries that heard us are
Argentina, Asiatic Russia, Australia, Austria, Balearic Is., Belarus, Belgium, Bermuda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Canary Is., Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, European Russia, Falkland Is., Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, French Guiana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kaliningrad, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Puerto Rico, Reunion I., Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Wales,
I wrote some code yesterday that looked at the distribution of countries of the observers that had seen our transmissions, and it looks as follows:
Federal Republic of Germany : 201

Finally, I remain concerned at the discrepancy between my previous total country count and the current one, so I am looking for someone to check the allocation of callsign to country in the observers file.
I am also concerned that we need to go through the 172 US callsigns and make sure that are in the correct zone. If I get a minute, I will write some code to use large Maidenhead squares (IO, JO, IN etc) in place of CQWW zones and see if that changes anything. I can automate the process of using Maidenhead squares, and apart from making things easier, it will remove human error at least determination of which zone a callsign is in.

CARC WSPR Competition Update 18-Feb-2016
Below is the latest output from my analysis of the WSPR competition.
The good news is that I have added some code to help the adjudicator determine the number of times a station was observed at a particular power. The method I used is a little scruffy, as you can see by the spurious word “Counter” in the output. I will work on that a bit later.
I did have a problem this morning which resulted in a corruption of my observers file, and in fixing it I had to re-enter a lot of the callsigns again. The result seems to be that we now have two fewer countries being reported. I do not know if the error was is in this version of the table, or was in the previous version.
Also I suspect that my approach I was using does not put the US stations in the correct zone, I think it just puts them in the zone that the call belongs to. Correcting this is a huge task, and I am open to suggestion as to a simple way to do this (or a volunteer to do it the hard way). My advice for the future is instead of using CQWW zones, use a metric based on Maidenhead squares at some suitable degree of aggregation since that can be determined directly from the WSPR spots file, leaving much simpler problem of assigning callsigns to entities.

To put this is a wider perspective, the WSPR database so far this month, with about half the month remaining is 500MB. It contains 5,933,563 spots. There are 2241 observers, which means that between us we have been heard by just under half of the possible observers, although allowing for the fact that some are active on multiple bands takes this up to 5565 possible unique spots.
The breakdown of observers across the bands is:
2200m observers = 86
630m observers = 324
160m observers = 318
80m observers = 503
60m observers = 171

The power I am reporting is the power that members are sending in their WSPR transmissions. If you have been reporting the wrong power, please let Keith (G3VKW) and I know.
For those not familiar with dBm the conversion to Watts for the powers reported is:
23 dBm = 200mW = 0.2W
27 dBm = 500mW = 0.5W
30 dBm = 1W
37 dBm = 5W

If someone would like to identify which CQ zone and country they should be assigned to, that would be helpful.
Finally only three entrants have claimed single band status, if anyone else is in that category, please let me know.
Finally if anyone is interested in the code it can be found at https://github.com/g3ysx/CARC-WSPR-comp/ . The key script is CWCA.py. If there are any bugs, please let me know.

WSPR Club contest
Hi All,
Just to clarify, If you are doing a Multi Band entry, then Your Country Score is made up of all the Countries you are reported in on all bands you operate.
For instance, if you are Reported in France on 80m, 40m, and 15m, then that scores 3 countries.
If you are reported in France on 80m twice, 3 times on 40m and once on 15m then that still only
counts as 3 countries.
The Final Score is then the total number of Countries, multiplied by the total number of CQ Zones.
Hope that clarifies the scoring.
73 Keith

The club station GX3WSC is still in the top spot, with G3RMK second and M0WID in third. I hope to find some time to do some power analysis today.
I know that I am reporting some of you as multi-band, when you are single band. If single band entrants could let me know, I will code up a fix for this in the reporting.
The bigger picture is as follows:
Observers = 1921
Total unique band observers = 4458
2200m observbers = 70
630m observbers = 282
160m observbers = 258
80m observbers = 409
60m observbers = 148
40m observbers = 719
30m observbers = 712
20m observbers = 859
17m observbers = 210
15m observbers = 264
12m observbers = 74
10m observbers = 278
6m observbers = 93
4m observbers = 1
2m observbers = 61
70cm observbers = 11
23cm observbers = 9
There are 768 stations in my observer file. This indicates that there are plenty of reporting stations that have not yet seen any of us.
