I have been wondering why RTTY guys use LOTW and others don't...at least not to
the same extent. I believe it must be related to the use of computers. While
I am certain that a high percentage of SSB operators do, in fact, use computers
in their shack, 100 pct of RTTY operators do and are very comfortable with
them. LOTW is a computer activity that many of the RTTY logging programs
interface with easily.
I ran my own log statistics on QSL rate of return via LOTW:
RTTY 65%
CW 45%
SSB 34%
I do so little PSK31 that the stats are meaningless, but it is not high.
