Getting more eQSLs » Increasing the percentage of Eqsl Return ? Mar 19, 2007 09:14 PM (Total replies: 41)

Hi,

We need to consider time as a factor. Some people do not have their whole log in electronic form, and have hence not uploaded it. My return rates from 10 years ago are much lower than from 5 years ago. I copied the number of monthly EQSLs sent / received from the Outbox / Archive eqsl.cc pages and put them straight into Excel. Peak monthly return rates exceed 30%, although recent (and not so recent) ones are less than 10% All will improve over time as more stations discover EQSL and submit their logs, although there's a lower chance I'll fill in the blanks for the older QSOs as people are less likely to have them typed up. Picture here:

When time allows I could repeat this by mode, band etc. As all of the numbers required are freely available from database queries, maybe someone should submit EQSL graph trending as a feature request. Is there some public domain code already written that could be utilised ?

99% of my own recent operation is from HF mixed mode contesting, by the way.
