This begs the question -- at what point in a QSO do we cease requiring
confirmations? In other words, if you need to copy a confirmation to log a
QSO, then how does the station sending the confirmation know that you've
heard it?
The station sending a confirmation may have no idea that you didn't copy
it. So should you confirm that you got the confirmation? Maybe several
rounds of this ack-ing just to be sure?
At some point each contest QSO is built on a trust that each station's
needs are satisfied. When that trust is there you hit return and log the
QSO.
