QRZ Logbook Hits One Billion QSOs with 46.5% Confirmation Rate

88.5% confirmed. Still looking for more countries...
Thanks QRZ. You guys ROCK!

 

Logbook? What logbook?

 

I have mentioned to several people over the course of my so far 11 months as a HAM that QRZ has the easiest U/I to use as far as any site I have encountered thus far.

Exporting from N1MM and into QRZ, and with LoTW integration, it's only a few clicks of a mouse and I have both QRZ and LoTW covered in the easiest manner possible.

13425 QSOs total, with 11,047 confirmed, and my confirmation rate is 82.28%, some of the highest amongst the community and my friend group!

Here's to making another 1 Billion QSOs!

 

I've recently gotten back into HF, only use the QRZ logbook, and have a 38% confirmation. But I'm liking that only with dipole mounted hamsticks at 18' I've contacted 25 countries with decent signal reports.
I do a refresh daily hoping more would confirm.

Very impressive #'s overall with the 1 billion logged QSO's! Keep up the great work!

 

Logging since 2009

70% confirm rate in QRZ
53% confirm rate in LoTW

 

Speaking of confirmation rates.


I'm #1,270 on the list

 

Congratulations! & thanks for all you do for Amateur Radio.
I would love to see options for when I operate mobile on a county line and give out 2 counties on the OMISS & 3905 nets.
I would love to see automatic Awards when I upload my log to QRZ.
I wish QRZ would do a QRZ QSO PARTY once a year with digital certificate awards!

 

I am happy to hear that QRZ hit OVER ONE BILLION QSO'S
Now lets look at The Reality
I have 6,401 Contacts ...... Not Great But Not Bad
Now Lets Say Worldwide On QRZ 100 Stations Have The Same
Remember I Am Saying Worldwide
That is 640,100 Contacts ..... That's Only 100 Stations Worldwide
Add These To The Count You Have Over Your Billion Total



S0 With Only 115 Stations We Have Over A Billion Contacts
Once Again Happy For QRZ ..... But Worldwide Not What I Would Expect
We Have More Work To Do
We Need More Stations Using The QRZ Log Book




Be Sure To Mention To All Your Contacts
That You Are Logging Them ON The Free and Easy To Use
QRZ LOG BOOK

 

Can some form of this dataset please be made public, or at least statistics from it? QSO's by mode per year etc. It would be very interesting to do analysis on it.

 

QRZ is a wonderful resource for the HAM community, looking up contacts, getting cursory talking info. but I wonder if we could do better? Maybe putting a reminder to confirm in the empty box above our logbooks?

 

I'm relatively new, but this is my go to logging site, even without a paid subscription. If I ever get rich again, I'll probably pay for the .xml(?) subscription. Every other logging site is just clunky as . . . unfortunately including lotw.

i have a very simple procedure, i confirm every qso both on here & LOTW, however i still suffer from a great deal of "big gun" stations and certain clubs that either do not confirm or take 3 years to confirm ??, while my dxcc count
is currently 244, i still have alot of dx expeditions who have not confirmed some after 3 years, generally when i work a dxcc dx expedition, i use clublog to pay for a direct card & confirmation on QRZ/LOTW ,despite this there is still non confirms, which i find "just not cricket", one of my most recentish worst offenders is the united nations hq radio club ,despite stating this" 4U1UN confirms QSL's via the bureau, direct and the Logbook of the World. e-QSL is not supported." ,and despite me paying for a direct card & confirmation took 9 months ????, it is literally less than 5 clicks of a mouse @ the end of a session to upload logs, if your not using a logging software, zero if your logging software is setup to auto upload to both qrz/lotw, pretty shameful imho as despite Ukraine being invaded by russia, i had a contact with a Ukrainan station 10 days ago ,and it was confirmed less than 2 days later !!, likewise working USA stations is very hit or miss whether you get the confirmation or have to wait months or even years for the confirmation, YET if its a contest every qso is confirmed in a matter of minutes ??? , pherhaps it needs to be highlighted on here on how to setup logging programs to auto upload & confirm your qsos, i am sure develpers of said software or other "contest big guns", could do simple videos to explain easy confirmation setups, myself i use log4om V2, and @ intial configuration i did it ,its that simple & courteous, and for the record my son passed his foundation UK license and got his callsign 1 week before emigrating to Australia a week ago and he got confirmations on 30 countries over 3 sessions of about 3 hours each ?, proably due to his M7 call prefix ???, while i have only achieved 9 bands all zones (need 6m oceania for 10 bands), i still chase DXCCs when i see them & confirm straight away, so why cant other people do the same ??

 

Congratulation QRZ company and it great team with this fantastic results!
The result proofs past, present and future QRZ achievements. Also, hope on possible integration with ither logs and accepting QSL cards to be credit for awards.
Best wishes,
