What's interesting is that the years 1990-1995 are almost all contest
QSOs, with very little operating outside contests (I did not have a
home station those years). Yet the % confirmed via LoTW is relatively
low compared to later years. I can only infer that people have not
taken the time to import their old contest logs into the system. If
this is because you can't get them into ADIF format, please contact me
off-line and I'll see if I can help.
