This number is correct.
I worked 4500 QSO's last time from V44/NP3D/EW1AR in DXpedition style (not 
counting V49A during CQ WW SSB) and among them I did 460 some contacts on RTTY. 
To be exact, I probably could make 700-800 QSO's or so, but 10 % is a good 
number. Will try better next time.

A large-scale DXpedition may work between 25-30K unique callsigns.

That same DXpedition may work between 2-3k unique RTTY callsigns.

So the RTTY operators represent only 10% of the "consumers".  One can 
see where this leads.
