Stats
The Stats page summarizes the last 7 days: spot counts, the busiest hours, activity by US state and country, band and mode charts, and the most active activators and references. It’s public.
Why you’d use it
Section titled “Why you’d use it”You’re picking a time for a POTA activation. Peak POTA/SOTA/WWFF hour and the Spots processed per hour chart show when hunters are most active, and POTA bands shows where they are.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”The window is the 7 complete UTC days ending at the last midnight; the hourly chart covers the last 168 complete hours. The page is rebuilt every hour, a few minutes past the hour, and says “Updated hourly, last at 14:05 UTC Oct 30.” Your browser keeps it until the next update is due, so reloading doesn’t change it. All times are UTC. There are no filters or date pickers.
Definitions used on the page:
- A spot is one report from a source.
- An activation is one callsign at one reference on one UTC day.
- A chaser is a spotter who isn’t the activator.
What each part covers:
| Section | Sources |
|---|---|
| Spots processed | RBN, APRS-IS packets, POTA, SOTA, WWFF |
| Spots processed per hour | All sources, DX Cluster included |
| Spots per day | One chart each for RBN, APRS, POTA, SOTA and WWFF |
| POTA activity by state | POTA parks; a multi-state park counts in each state |
| Activity by country | POTA, SOTA, WWFF, DX Cluster and RBN, by the country of the station on the air |
| RBN bands, POTA bands, SOTA bands, WWFF bands | That source |
| Top SOTA associations, Top WWFF programs, Modes | SOTA, WWFF, and POTA/SOTA/WWFF |
| Most active activators, Most spotted parks, summits and WWFF references | POTA, SOTA, WWFF; top 8 |
| Most heard on RBN | RBN; top 8 |
| APRS-IS | Packets, stations and igates. Packets aren’t spots and never trigger alerts. |
WWBOTA, IOTA and logged contacts aren’t shown here. Hidden callsigns are removed from the top lists, which can then hold fewer than 8 rows, but still count in the totals.

When it doesn’t work
Section titled “When it doesn’t work”“Not enough data yet. Stats appear after the first full day of spots.” Shown only on a new installation.
Today’s activity isn’t there. The window ends at the last UTC midnight; today is in the hourly chart only.
The numbers didn’t change after a reload. The page updates once an hour.
