Valid QSO is defined as an exchange of callsigns and RST reports.
However, they were quite a few 5NN in SARTG :-)

_________________________________________________________
Changing the subject slightly, wouldn't it be a good idea to eliminate
the RST from contests? Not just SCC, but all of them. Either that, or
require a true RST report?
A few contests already do this and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
I'm just puzzled why contest sponsors continue to require such a
meaningless transmission. I'd guess back in the early days of
contesting, most folks did send actual reports but they gradually came
to realize that 599 was easier at both ends.
Not a big deal, of course, just one of those things I wonder about from
time to time.
Comments, anyone?
73, Bill W7TI
