Hi Pete,
it is Q31 from the files with the full Q&A set plus freetext comments at
the bottom of the linked page
http://www.darc.de/der-club/referate/dx/contest/wag/en/newsarchives/survey-2015/
Its wording was: "31. Which of these sources do you use (multiple
answers possible)?"
The link to the survey was provided at the end of the upload tool and in
mails to participants and in mails to reflectors. Response rates are at
the newssite linked above. The German rate with 40 percent can be called
representative for WAG participants (which we could check by some of the
figures in the survey like QSO numbers, Op-hours and category).
The reponse rate of the English survey lagged behind the Russian version
compared to the number of participants from the respective areas.
The English speaking group of respondents is a bit shifted towards the
more competetive participants. The German group is shifted a bit towards
the SSB-folks, as the percentage of SSB-only Ops in SOP mixed is a bit
higher for DLs than for Non-DLs, so some imminent shift away from RBN
usage.
Russian speaking ops have a bit higher percentage of CW QSOs than the
average, but this group is even more "relaxed" about competetive goals
than the DL group.
And no, I did not buy the SPSS option to be able to split up answers for
subgroups - to get e.g. the above sources percentages for the subgroup
of CW-ops only (but thus excluding mixed-ops).
The survey like many others of this kind was meant to get an impression
from a broad spectrum of topics not the deepest possible insight into
selected issues. Like all surveys of this kind it can hardly claim to be
fully representative. But some answers like available antennas, tools
for sending CW motives, incentives etc were very interesting and
possibly sometimes surprising.

It would be interesting to know a couple of things:
Did the Clusterspots percentage include the RBN percentage? It appears
that it must. Also, was the question asked of all respondents about
*all* operating, or just about contesting? Finally, was participation
in the survey actively solicited or were the respondents self-selected?
