My routine has been to assess the website stats at least once a year, publishing the results. So you can find those previous posts with a quick search. For example, the page views have ticked down this past year, as shown below.
Year | Page Views | Users | Average Time on Page |
2022 | 44,233 | 24,282 | 2:52 |
2021 | 50,538 | 25,867 | 2:52 |
2020 | 41,294 | 21,661 | 2:33 |
2019 | 23,775 | 13,539 | 2:11 |
2018 | 23,492 | 11,493 | 2:14 |
Top 10 Posts
The Top 10 Posts have mostly stayed the same from last year. Antennas continue to be a big attraction, particularly those for six meters.

6 Meter Book Downloads
The 6-meter eBook generated a bit of interest. Version 1 saw 6,900 downloads from August 2020 to July 2022. Version 2 garnered another 470 downloads from July 2022 to the end of the year. So hopefully, people are still finding it helpful in pursuing six meters.
Ham Club Presentations
I provided roughly ten club presentations via Zoom and in person. I also provided three presentations for the QSO Today Ham Expo over the past couple of years. Most of these presentations were on six meters, but I’ve also provided presentations on meteor scatter and VHF contesting. Here are the Ham Expo presentations.
Other Measures
I’ve tapped into a few other measures this year. The K5ND domain authority is 25, which compares to ARRL.org at 67. The page authority for some of my six-meter posts is at 30 and 31, while the six-meter antenna post is at 29. The keyword “6m antenna” gets a visibility ranking of 44, with the next nearest keyword, “msk144,” at 13. There are several other measures, but that gives an idea of current performance.
