It doesn't shorten the time for a QSO. You must be referring to the idea that
RRR is the last message for the CQ side. Seems the fast mode people still send
a 73 which isn't surprising. But the EME people and HF want the RRR to be last.
Can't argue with it being an option, can you? Should make everybody happy.

{}#yiv4319477191 I don’t know for certain why this was changed in the first
place except the JT65 HF crowd is always looking for a way to sidestep a
sequence to shorten the time for a QSO. This does not work in the meteor
scatter VHF world where you are relying on random data bits to fly in on a
meteor for less than 1 second and you are trying to decode just what the guy on
the other end has received. If it aint broke, don’t fix it. I hope I don’t get
black balled for being negative like the Ham Radio Deluxe people do to users of
their software. Lol ;-) 73 Jay KA9CFD From: Black Michael

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Prompt to log QSO when either RRR or 73 is sent I
think the consensus solution would be to make it a user option.Seems the meteor
scatter people have the most problems with it since they were quick to speak
up. I had proposed at one time to make the "Prompt me to log QSO" a tri-state
box so one could check 73, 73+RRR, or none. But seems the binary choice is
clearer and there are no other tri-state checkboxes in WSJT-X. So this patch
makes it optional with an added option line below the current prompt option.
All worlds should be happy with this.

the introduction of the log QSO prompt when you are sending RRR does not solve
or help anything. It is useless when you are doing meteor scatter. If I’m
sending Tx3 and the other station hears that and sends Tx4 and then logs the
contact, it is not a valid QSO because I have no idea if the other station has
heard my report. I will end up sending Tx3 several times until I just give up
on the contact. 73 de Sebastian, W4AS

This was introduced in r7431. I think its bad form to get a prompt to log the
QSO when you are sending RRR. How do you know if your QSO partner has received
it if he does not send 73 back to you?? Jay Hainline KA9CFDColchester, IL
