I am about 47% confirmed on LoTW and much lower on eQSL (although not
calculated, country list is shorter). DX (outside NA) confirms more often on
LoTW, and, over all, digital QSOs are confirmed much more often on eQSL. NA
contacts confirm more often on LoTW or both. Digital contacts are confirmed
overwhelmingly on eQSL.
