I was travelling on business this week and on Thursday noticed I was about 15 QSLs short of reaching 20,000 on LoTW (Logbook Of The World). This morning I looked and I’m currently showing 20,009 QSLs.
With about 33,819 QSOs, that’s just a LoTW QSL rate of 59%. It doesn’t count the hundreds of paper QSLs I have, though there would be some overlap for the same contacts.
Looking by mode for just LoTW QSLs I show the following:
Mode | QSL % |
---|---|
RTTY | 64 |
SSB | 21 |
CW | 14 |
PSK31 | 0.5 |
PSK125 | 0.4 |
FM | 0.05 |
SSTV | 0.05 |
Looking by band for LoTW QSLs:
Band | QSL % |
---|---|
20M | 43 |
40M | 23 |
80M | 19 |
15M | 10 |
10M | 4 |
6M | 0.3 |
2M | 0.2 |
17M | 0.2 |
12M | 0.1 |
30M | 0.1 |
70CM | 0.1 |
Thanks to all those operators, about 4620 unique callsigns, that made the QSOs and followed them up with LoTW QSLs.
