Hi think that's a great way of looking at things, Tom
I thought that the 7O6T guys did an amazing job before I saw your analysis, but
I guess that figure really hammers home quite how incredible their QSO rate
was. I bet they slept for a week when they got home.
I suppose the counter argument to judging a DXpedition simply by number of QSOs
is - as others have suggested - where those QSOs came from, hence the point
from our friends across the Atlantic that the 7O6T team apparently didn't look
to maximise band openings to North America (and elsewhere) - whereas Neville
G3NUG told me that working the hard-to-work paths was specifically a goal of
T32C, possibly partly (along with other factors) explaining the lower QSO rate
As you say, it all depends on the objectives of the Dxpedition and as Benjamin
Disraeli alluded, interpretation of statistics can be dangerous

Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] Leaderboards - good or bad?
One of my personal yardstick of the "goodness" of an expedition is NOT the
total number of QSOs made
as that depends entirely on the number of operators, stations and the duration
but I like to look at the TOTAL QSOs made by the NUMBER of OPERATORS and the
NUMBER of DAYS taken into account
Like:
Call Total QSOs No of Operators No of Days No of QSOs
made per operator per day
T32C 213006 38 30 186
D68C 168591 32 20 263
HK0NA 195292 27 27 267
7O6T 162029 17 15 635
I guess it all depends on the objectives of the expedition
work uniques??
work down to the third and fourth tier?
max out the QSOs?
etc etc.
Its just my way of looking and comparing things
