Dear VHF-friends,
after a lot of requests in the magazines FUNKTELEGRAMM,
CQ-DL, FA, as well in several foreign publications and via packet-radio
(DXCs and BBS) and via vhf-internet-reflector, please do welcome
the result of our:
144 MHz (M)ost (W)anted (S)quare Europe Survey 2004
of our "VHF-DX-Group DL-West" in cooperation with "FUNKTELEGRAMM".
The datas was collected in the time periode between december 2003
and 07 march 2004. For the first time we tried to request the data
in the way of a new standard (mwd-files) which created together with
Bo, OZ2M, who also developed a pc-program for us to evaluate this
survey (for details please have a look at Bo´s homepage).
Our
MWS-survey have been taken since 1993 and this year we have seen
the highest figure of participants since our start. We did receive
120 votes (6 votes more than the old record in year 1999)
So please
have a look to the result of the survey 2004 in detail. This year
we gave the vote into total figure and in percent of all initials
(120 initials) to compare it against 2003 and 2002:

Some comments about the above listing:
The first figure (eg.: initials 45) behind
the square, will give you an idea how many people would like an activity on
144 MHz for this special square in 2004. The second figure (eg.: votes % 45%)
will show the percent vallue to
the tolal of 120 initials. At the first 25 places you also will be
able to compare against percent vallues of the years 2003 and 2002.
Also
this year we have a lot of squares from eastern and south-east part
of europe at the top of our list! Of course there was a big increase
of activity in past year due to the fact that K1JT spread his nice
program WSJT, but our list will not show too these increase or much
differences to the past years. The only way to get an high score
of an square into lower value-areas, seems to run an expeditions
with activity over several days (eg. the expeditions in past years
in KM28, KN49 or KO57...)

as well as the homepage of Udo,

and at the internet-homepage
of Bo, OZ2M:
http://www.qsl.net/oz2m/ham/index.htm
you are able to find the results of the survey 2004 as well as the
results of the past years, so you are able to compare the changes
from year to year. Here you are also able to find the survey of Alex,
IW0GPN, who made a list for 50 MHz and from Bo, OZ2M, who worked
it out for 70 MHz and all bands onwards 432 MHz. These we will try
to
start also next year again togther with the list of the Most Wanted
DXCCs. If you are interesting in detailed information on any square
or any area you would like to activate (vote number and/or calls
who do need it!) please do send me a mail via internet ( mws@dl8ebw.de
).
Again many thanks to all participants in the list 2004 and specially
to DL8HCZ, DK3XT, DK5YA, OH5IY, EA6VQ and OZ2M who spread around
the news or built up the new tools for these survey! Hope to meet
you soon again in the air on 144 MHz...
