However, you have in some cases a reasonably large sample size
and can correlate various things (such as signal strengths and
rates) with the propagation picture. If the LOTW sample size
is large enough, we can probably get a reasonable answer on
the parameter estimation problem of determining the correlation
parameters. I don't know about you but this is interesting and
years from now when I have time, I might do it.

nextday...
I wonder if researchers could get access to the LOTW, in addition to
contest weekend logs, to get a full picture of what
communications were possible during a particular time.
Unfortunately, it's only a partial answer, since most people don't record
accurate signal strength or station configurations
against each QSO.
