During the contest, 1,334 stations streamed their scores to the Score Distributor every minute. ContestScope recorded all of it: 132,389 score reports over 48 hours. This is what that stream shows about the contest while it was happening. Nothing here is adjudicated; these are claimed figures as the stations sent them.
Every continent was on the stream. North America and Europe made up four stations in five; Europe reported the most QSOs by a wide margin.
Field rate is the sum of every reporting station's QSO rate. The two daytime peaks on 15 and 10 m stand out; the lowest point is the second night, when Europe sleeps and the Americas have run out of Europe.
Band share from the per-band breakdown each station reports. Share, not volume: it shows where the field was, not how many QSOs were made.
Half the field was reporting in the first hour. Stations kept joining through the whole contest, mostly single-ops setting up the feed on the second day.
With live scores, a category is a race, not a result. Here is how the lead moved in the biggest classes, in 15-minute steps.
The same view for every single-band and QRP class with at least three stations on the stream. Pick one.
Sustained rate between two consecutive reports 10 to 20 minutes apart, from stations that had been reporting steadily. Bulk uploads and resumed feeds are excluded.
1,334 stations is a record for a live score stream, and it is still a fraction of the CQ WW SSB field. The curves above are built only from stations that chose to send their score. More reporters mean truer band activity, tighter races to follow, and a rate reference for every category and region, not just the top ten.
