Where did you get this? I see nothing in the arrl dxcc rules
that talk about signal reports. They dont really talk about
the info exchanged during the contact - but they do require
that the confifmation data (read QSL card) must have the callsigns
of both stations, the country, mode, date, time and frequency band.

in the on the air activity is for you to get the callsign of
the other station - and he get yours. If they dont require the
RST on the the confirmation data - the way would you need to
exchange it?
