We present X-ray Log(N)-Log(S) relations which are corrected the incompleteness and Eddington bias and which are deeper by a factor of a few than the first ChaMP results in Kim et al. (2004). To quantitatively characterize the sensitivity and completeness as a function of source flux, off-axis distance and background level, we have performed a large set of simulations. We have simulated ~13,000 artificial X-ray sources per deg², added them to each Chandra observation in the ChaMP sample and run the same procedures of detection and source extraction as in the ChaMP data processing. We compare our ChaMP results with those of Chandra deep fields and search for the statistically significant field-to-field variation of the cosmic background source density.
