DL3KWF - QSO/QSL-statistics

Because over and over again about QSL effectiveness is spoken, is written and polemized, these examples should point how many QSLs are really to be expected. One can interpret in the figures a lot in. There remains the knowledge that one gets also "voluntarily" no 60% of the sent traditional QSLs confirmed for special call signs. YLs have here no privilege - DL3KWR got only 3% QSLs more in spite of bigger efforts.  -  Date: 1/31/2010.

The changing relations of the traditional QSLs to eQSL are interesting also. The graphics show the absolute shares - incl. the double confirmations (paper and eQSL). While for SV9-QSOs in 2005 the eQSL interest still puts out 29% in the total number of confirmed QSOs, DM50KWF 2008 reaches more than 50%.
