Well, there is certainly nothing l33t or new about this, the joys of ham radio.

CW - being continuous wave ( as apposed to CQ, which is ) is morse code. CQ is a all stations call, however in this case it is referring to a ham radio magazine heh.

The score card is here:

QSO = A conversation between two radio operators, i.e. contacts.

And you have a number of prefixes per country/region. As you can see in the winner, he has a ZL6 prefix, I know a couple of ZL4's as well. ( ZL being NZ, the number being a region within NZ )

So a score of ~12,000,000 means he contacted a CRAPLOAD of various prefixes, on different bands. And all by morse code.
