I upload to both LoTW and eQSL. I have gotten a few "fake" QSOs against both
my home call (130K QSOs) and my XV calls (3W2NWS - 5K QSOs - and XV2W -20K
QSOs). Most of the fake ones were for my XV2W call and for a time I was not
in XV. In total maybe 15 fake QSOs.
Confirmation rate is nearly the same (within 1 per cent) for both LoTW and
eQSL at around 20 per cent overall for my home call which has many QSOs
before 2003 (roughly the start of LoTW and eQSL).
Confirmation rate for my XV2W call has recently changed with LoTW now around
37 per cent and eQSL around 28 per cent. These used to be much more like my
home call in range and spread between the two services. Paper QSL rate is
about 25 per cent for the XV call. There is overlap in these numbers in that
some stations are confirmed in all three categories (eQSL, LoTW, paper),
some in two categories, and others in only one category.
There is a difference between continents for my XV2W QSOs. NA is decidedly
more LoTW oriented with 52 per cent confirmed LoTW vs 22 per cent eQSL. AS
OTOH is 32 vs 22 per cent (LoTW and eQSL respectively) and EU at 38 vs 32
per cent.

Hi Dale,
Well, DXKeeper is free and has a very good integration with LotW.
I use N1MM for actually logging the QSOs at my operating position, but
transfer them to DXKeeper for all the "log managing" and QSLing.
I have 193 confirmed countries with LotW for 223 worked. Only CW and SSB,
really few DIGI.
I was more than surprised of that confirmation rate, but it I confirm you
receive more confirmation from contesters and CWers than from SSB DXers...
I don't look at eQSL anymore as I receive far to more fake QSO requests.
73,
Yan.

My Winlog32 does the eQSL thing automatically.. it does NOT do LOTW auto..
far from it.IN FACT.. I have not been successful with LOTW in well over
two years. IF winlog32 or any logging program.. like N1MM would do the
LOTW auto.. I'd be plumb happy...and so would a whole lotta other folk
too. (the ones that need a WY confirmation).
Have a great day,
