A grid map showing the number of active contesting stations in each could be a
powerful tool for rovers during route selection or for siting a temporary
station to maximize Q's. It would be even more useful if it identified the
number of station active on each band in each grid since that would give a good
read on how many multipliers would be possible from a given location and
station capability.
Of course it would not include stations that did not submit logs unless you
used the data on both sides of the QSO, which would include uniques. Uniques
would be problematic and skew the data (I typically run 50% to 70% uniques on
FM) as they only get on the air because I ask them to. FM is always sn
outlier, I have no idea what the average number of uniques exist in other
vhf/uhf logs but I assume it's much much lower.
This is a tempting project to undertake. I love metadata.

Subject: [VHFcontesting] contest grid activity summaries?
Are there any VHF/UHF contest activity summaries by grid? i.e, a summary
of all contacts made from each grid, or a summary of all stations operating
from each grid. (Those are different, in that one very active station
would make more contacts that a few casual ones.) Hopefully, it would be
broken down by band.
I suppose if all the logs were processed together this would be possible,
but I don't know if anyone does that, or if the results are available if it
is done.
