[RTTY] Re the LoTW stats

[Richard Ferch]

Hi Phil and the group,

>From my logs for 2006/2007 - all contest QSOs:

2006:

W/K RTTY:  67%
VE RTTY:   74%
DX RTTY:   35%

W/K CW:    36%
VE CW:     38%
DX CW:     21%

2007 up to Nov. 18:

W/K RTTY:  65%
VE RTTY:   65%
DX RTTY:   22%

W/K CW:    38%
VE CW:     32%
DX CW:     22%

CQ WW CW 2007 (Nov. 24/25):

W/K CW:    28%
DX CW:     11%

Note that it takes time for LoTW confirmations to come in - my results for
last weekend's contest are significantly down from the results for QSOs made
earlier in the year and last year, but that is almost certainly due to the
fact that not everyone uploads their log immediately after the contest
(quite a few wait until after the contest log submission deadline), and not
to a sudden drop-off in participation.

There seem to be fairly significant differences in the data between W/VE vs.
other contesters, and between RTTY vs. CW contesters.
