RTTY and PSK have generally run a higher rate in both LoTW and eQSl for me
as well. The overall rate seems to be going up as more people are using the
system. LoTW had problems a year ago (or was it two?) but in the recent past
seems to do very well with updates, often in a very few minutes. Even after
a big contest like CQWW the update cycle is usually not more than a few
hours where before it could be days.

Subject: [RTTY] LoTW confirmation rates
Here's my observation of relative mode confirmation rates in LoTW and eQSL:
JT65 > PSK > RTTY > CW > SSB > FM
It sort of goes along with computer skills and maybe age.
I'm currently running 49.5% confirmed in LoTW. If I took out all the old
QSOs from 1960-1999 I'd be well over 50%. I think this is remarkable and
partly explains why LoTW seems to run so poorly now - it's a victim of it's
own success. A lot of my confirmations come from digital and RTTY QSOs.

Many of these QSO's are already confirmed in LOTW (hint, RTTY contesting
has extremely high confirmation rates in LOTW).
