[South Florida DX Association] K4FK LoTW QSL milestone

[Kai Siwiak]

I concur about the dismally low SSB LOTW rate. When Ann gave me a 
Signalink-USB interface for Christmas I took on a short term goal of 
working WAS in digital modes. That evolved into pursuit of WAS-TPA, 
which is a LOTW-only award. The toughest part of that award was finding 
SSB stations that were LOTW users! My lowest rate of return on LOTW is 
SSB.  The highest is RTTY, but other digital modes (like PSK31) are low 
- seems like the PSKers prefer eQSL.
