[RTTY] LoTW confirmation rates

[Larry]

RTTY and PSK have generally run a higher rate in both LoTW and eQSl for me 
as well. The overall rate seems to be going up as more people are using the 
system. LoTW had problems a year ago (or was it two?) but in the recent past 
seems to do very well with updates, often in a very few minutes.  Even after 
a big contest like CQWW the update cycle is usually not more than a few 
hours where before it could be days.

Here's my observation of relative mode confirmation rates in LoTW and  eQSL:

JT65 > PSK > RTTY > CW > SSB > FM

It sort of goes along with computer skills and maybe age.

I'm currently running 49.5% confirmed in LoTW.  If I took out all the  old
QSOs from 1960-1999 I'd be well over 50%.  I think this is  remarkable and
partly explains why LoTW seems to run so poorly now - it's a  victim of it's
own success.  A lot of my confirmations come from digital  and RTTY QSOs.

Many of  these QSO's are already confirmed in LOTW (hint, RTTY contesting
has extremely  high confirmation rates in LOTW).
