Dear Mal, LF Group,

You wrote:
I copied XGJ solid last nite on his first call but unfortunately he had QRM
problems and I did a QSY and he missed my request to STOP so that I could
give him a OOO report and hopefully receive one back.

...But an LF QSO is where information is exchanged between stations using LF radio waves - not via internet discussions, HF talk-back, semaphore, etc. So any requests need to be made using your LF QRSS signal. Last night the only information you sent was "KEV" a number of times. Also, you started your transmission while XGJ was still transmitting. If Warren was copying you, he could not have known whether you were calling him to give a report, or just calling again because you had not copied him previously. So while the suggested QSO format may seem long-winded, it has a good purpose.

I have made numerous QSO'S over the years on QRS mode and know exactly how
to proceed and do agree with you, but I hope others take notice.
I have noticed this year that QRS QSO'S are getting far too long winded by
some sending Name and Locator for example.
also prolonged sending of callsign when an ID is already established.
Some have got so used to Beacon mode that they have forgotton how to engage
in a QSO.
QSO mode needs procedural Skill whereas the beacon operator just plugs away
hoping that he might be heard/seen and generates lots of QRM into the
bargin.

I'm sure people who remember the early days of transatlantic QRSS find all this a bit surreal... exactly when did "Lazy man's CW" miraculously become "QSO Mode"? ;-)
