"Ron" wrote in message ... What is even worse is the rate of return for contest QSO's via Logbook of the World which is free and almost effortless if one has a computer log which contester's usually have. My experience is just the opposite. I have just over 30,000 QSO's uploaded to LoTW. My overall hit rate is 13%, but if I examine contest weekend dates only, my hit rate is 24%. If I narrow the seach to just domestic contest weekends (SS, NAQP, state QSO parties), the hit rate is 41%. That tells me that contesters are far more involved in LoTW than is typical of the overall ham community. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

Yes QSLing for domestic contests is better than DX but 41 % is still
pretty poor considering the electronic log issue. KØHB wrote: "Ron" wrote in message ...
