[RTTY] DXCC RTTY via LoTW

[Inbody, Don]

I have been wondering why RTTY guys use LOTW and others don't...at least not to the same extent.  I believe it must be related to the use of computers.  While I am certain that a high percentage of SSB operators do, in fact, use computers in their shack, 100 pct of RTTY operators do and are very comfortable with them.  LOTW is a computer activity that many of the RTTY logging programs interface with easily.

I ran my own log statistics on QSL rate of return via LOTW:

RTTY	65%
CW	45%
SSB	34%

I do so little PSK31 that the stats are meaningless, but it is not high.


73, Don ADØK
