[CQ-Contest] LoTW confirmation rates

[Scott Monks]

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.

73, Scott  AA0AA; XE1/AA0AA
