[RTTY] LoTW confirmation rates

[John Elsik]

LOTW runs poorly?
That sure is not my observation.  LOTW has been running better than it ever
has lately.  Log files large or small are processed in minutes instead of
days like in the past.  The system is up most of the time, again a major
improvement.  My 1200 contact log file this Sunday was processed in 10 to 15
minutes.  They upgraded the server etc not too long ago.

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).
