[SMCARA] Question on QRZ Logbook

[Richard (KG3BOZ)]

Jason, 

Like Eqsl, I upload my logs to qrz as a service to other hams who like to collect qsls there.

In my opinion,  ARRL/LOTW are the only awards worth the time.

It's the equivalent of a degree from JHU and a degree from backwater city college.  

Eqsl and qrz logs can be searched beforehand  and result  in qsls that didn't happen.

LOTW is a double  blind  system.

My QSL return  rate on LOTW is around 52%  

I don't know what my return rate on other systems are.

Just my .02 cents.

Subject: [SMCARA] Question on QRZ Logbook 

I have upload my logbook to both LOTW and QRZ Logbook.  I am just wondering what percentage of you QSO’s get confirmed if your using QRZ?

I was reading a QRZ forum where QRZ claimed they are right there with LOTW on confirmed QSO’s over all.  They compared total QSO’s uploaded to confirmed.  I am not seeing anywhere near what I see confirmed on LOTW.  Presently I have 3,899 QSO’s uploaded to both LOTW and QRZ, with LOTW confirming at 52% and QRZ confirming 10.4%.
I will say that while I was just working mostly DX my percentage was lower, it was sitting around 35% to 37%.  With working a couple contests and working the points stations for the ARRL centennial has brought it up on both accounts. Just working DX, my QRZ was at around 7%




What are you guys seeing for percentages?
