I think location will play a big part as well as the activity of some of the
rarer states. I'm located in Missouri and 10-15 years ago I worked all
states during a RTTY Roundup weekend. Wasn’t interested in WAS so I didn’t
pursue QSLs. Don't know if getting confirmations would have been a problem.
I imagine a lot more ops have worked all the states on RTTY than have
bothered to apply for the certificate.

Hi,
I never paid attention before, but mine was #814 from January 15, 2010, so
they go up about 100/year.
WAS has always been difficult for me, as opposed to DXCC. It's tougher to
work 100% of 50 states than 30% of 340 countries. From the time I got on
RTTY it took about 5 months to work DXCC and 15 months for WAS. Vermont
was the last state and I waited quite a while.
