[RTTY] QSL Survey

Here's some figures that may be interesting. Since 2007 I have uploaded 
all my logs to both LoTW and eQSL. Right now I have almost equal QSO 
totals uploaded from Paraguay as ZP9EH and from the U.S. as W9CPI. My 
operating is a majority of CW, with significant amounts of RTTY and PSK 
and almost no SSB.

As ZP9EH I have 32% responses on LoTW and 25% on eQSL.

As W9CPI I have 46% answers on LoTW and 24% on eQSL.

I would have guessed that my return rate would have been greater as 
ZP9EH than as W9CPI? I find the PSK QSOs to be the highest percentage of 
matches, with RTTY second and CW third.

I don't chase paper QSL cards by the bureau, but answer all that I 
receive that way.

I do QSL direct for ones that I need, if I don't get a LoTW confirmation 
in a reasonable time. I upload to eQSL as a service to others, and do 
not chase awards through that system.

73 and hope to work a bunch of you!
