Gene, Here's an explanation.
Some days UA9CS Igor works as many as 7 stations on a pass. Each of these stations enters his callsign - 5 or more passes a day gives a *LOT* of points.
Now maybe people can understand what I was rambling on about these last months re: "points" in the log.
A few months ago, Igor was well behind me, now he's well ahead. It all depends on how active a person is. Note that the actual figures I quote above are THEORETICAL. Igor doesn't always work 7 stations per pass.
There were *VERY* few stations who worked AO-7 in the 70's. Mostly Americans.
The JH station in 7th place has ammassed several hundred points without one single QSO ... which of course makes a complete mockery of the points system.
As I have mentioned on both reflectors several times. The log is an ACTIVITY log ... *NOT* a contest log. The "points" system is an ill-advised design in my opinion - others may disagree.
Accumulative errors from sloppy entries will eventually make the log show incorrect results.

Hello group,
2000 QSO just via AO-7, this "old bird".... Hm-m... How to find so many "uers" of AO-7? May be he worked via AO-7 during all those 30+ years, even, when bird was "dead"? Who has more via AO-7? May be it was his QSO "number 2000 via satellites" in his logbook?
Strange, that I meet Igor firstly on satellites only in 2005 (VO-52) and never before... In my lodbook only 3843 QSO via satellites (RS, AO-7, AO-10 e.t.c...) Very poor result...
