HOWEVER, I don't see the various deep search solutions
in Opera including any unknowns in this sense. The
time stamp is meant to act as that item of unknown,information, but
is not being actually transmitted. Instead it has be
correlated by external means, which isn't quite the same in terms of
strength of coding
Im confused - that's the whole point of
the system ? the data has its
own time code and dynamic attempts time sync
I disagree that the copying of callsigns is important if they are known in
advance. Such would be the case in real organised Dx attempts and
scheds
It is just a waste of valuable QSO time / bandwidth to exchange
already-known information.
Why not regard the exchange of some unknown token as validating a
genuine QSO?
Like a digit or two, or a single letter.
it could be a signal report, although a classic type of report does
itself include a lot of known information in its structure and may not be robust
enough
All a-priori information can quite happily be exchanged by any other
route
Just because an IARU Handbook specifies something doesn't make it common
sense - those rules / guidance or whatever were written by people who
assume voice and the hand sent pulsed stuff is what everyone uses.
Use for Contest rules, fair enough. But real experimenters use their
common sense
