Data Mining Your Log for DXCC	Reply

I figured that its a great time to strategize as far as antennas and DXCC is concerned, and what better way than to look at the old log? My first question turned out to lead to a series of other interesting questions: 1) What bands, modes, power and antennas did I use to get really rare new one's at the bottom of the cycle? 2) What do I mean by "rare one's"? 3) What do I mean by "bottom of the cycle"? 4) Did I really need to buy that yagi and amp - even though I promised I never would? What was the cost of the new one's with the amp and yagi vs. before - when times were simpler (200 watts and wire only?) 5) When can I get back to wire and just 200 watts max - and ditch the yagi and amp? (Or should I even consider this at all?) 6) What beam heading(s) do I need for the last 8 - for DXCC Honor Roll? 7) What antennas should I have up now? 8) How many all time new ones did I work at sunspot minima, with no gain and no amp? (And every machination thereof). 9) What were my most productive bands since 2001? 10) What were my most productive antennas since 2001? What did I miss? All of these questions were answered by looking at data in my log - and have formed a presentation that I will be giving at Pacificon 2008. There were a few really interesting surprises. . .
