Correct, I am looking at a whole series of grids in a
spreadsheet. The good news is that I do now have what
I am looking for and am in the process of crunching
some numbers which will relate the number of Q's and
first (or only) time worked grids vs. the frequency
that they were worked on.

My N4PY/Pegasus with WriteLog software combo allowed
me to quite accurately log the actual frequency for
every Q on all 4 lower bands that I made during the
January VHF SS. For 2M I have always been currious
what percentage of my Q's & mults are typically made
on or near 144.200 and how many were not.

More to follow once I have the numbers all worked out.
