Hello LF-fans!

I like the following algorithm more:

QRSS - QRSS
------------
1) CQ G3AQC K
2) G3AQC RU6LA K
3) RU6LA O AQC K   (or RU6LA O G3AQC K if no correct G3AQC call)
4) AQC O RO ("Roger O") LA K   (or AQC OR LA K ??)
5) LA RO AQC SK    (or better LA R AQC EE ??)
6) LA SK (or LA EE ??)

QRSS - CW (X-band also)
-----------------------
The CW-station will carry out traditional CW-CW QSO,
but the report gives O, M or T
1) CQ G3AQC K
2).......
3) RU6LA S7 ("Strength 7") AQC K
4).......
5)LA RO AQC SK  (or LA R AQC EE ??)
6).......
(I had a some QSOs with UA and all have understood, that I have
given them RST 579 ;-))


Ed et al,

This format seems to be derived from the QSO format used in EME at 432 MHz and above.  As an alternative, 144 MHz EME has dropped the use of T and M reports, and uses only O which can only be sent to mean "I have copied both callsigns."  When both stations have exchanged callsigns, O and R (meaning "roger" or "received"), the QSO is complete (73 is unnecessary).  If signals are especially strong, sometimes RST is substituted for O (as in 339, hi)

73,
