Was 1670 (highest) before I quit playing OTB several years ago. I think you will see the USCF ratings being higher for the simple fact that a person sits and concetrates on one game in the same two-three hour time period. When playing a seriuos OTB game every time, you touch a piece it feels like life or death (or it did for me anyhow). At RHP, it's just the click of the mouse while watching Baywatch😀
Or maybe that's why my rating is plummeting....Pam Anderson has cost me more points here than anyone else. Don't have that probelm at a tourny.

USCF is a Over The Board "club" for anyone in the USA interested. Currently my rating is 1121 provisional😳😠 after 15 games cuz i have played so low rated people...
I know this was true about 15 years ago because I got involved with a few games. (Snail Mail... 🙁 ) I dropped out before I had played enough games to establish any kind of rating with them, so can't give you anything for a comparison to my RHP rating.
