It's quite obvious that a LOT of RTTY contesters do not submit
logs. In the 2001 ARRL Round-Up, according to Waldemar's list,
665 logs were submitted. In that very contest I worked 892 unique
calls.
Below, I have put into parenthesis, the number of unique calls I worked
in those contests listed. I have to conclude that the number of logs
submitted does not represent the number of participants very well.
