WRTC 2026 Stats

lz2xa.com/wrtc

Hour-by-hour replay of the WRTC 2026 race (IARU HF, 11–12 July) — who leads and on which bands, minute by minute, built from all 50 teams' Cabrillo logs.

  • Animated replay of the whole 24-hour contest with play and scrub controls
  • Three metrics: score, QSOs and multipliers
  • Band-activity strip (80/40/20/15/10 m) per team over the last 15 minutes
  • Highlight your favourite teams or the Top 5; chart or table view
  • Single self-contained page — EN / BG, dark/light theme
Scores are "as logged" during the contest (raw, before log-checking corrections), so they sit slightly above the official checked results.
