Bill....it's up the the other operator to have the report, not you to
make sure that your report has been received ok.
I've sent my report and if he hasn't got it he will ask again...
I have his call and report, for me the qso is ok. A lot of contacts are
"not in log" or with wrong reports and doesn't count for Contest and
award rules. This is because of the other operator not me or the
transmission protocol. It happens frequently.
I don't think that this is either a problem of a transmission protocol.
In fact in "DXPEDITION MODE" (TX1 and TX3 only ) there is no RR73 but
qso's are valid.
But this is just an accademic discussion...what is useless is (TX6) also
in normal (not Contest or DxPedition) qso's.
Anyway I would keep the RR73 (TX5) (although I don't think it's
necessary) but with a maximum repeat of two...then it shoud pass over
and prompt the log enter, and don't send any 73 (TX6) . This will stop
all the 73 request that I can see on the HF causing only qrm ( 3 or 4
or more periods make 1 minute and just to get a 73 while your qso has
already ended?).

you never get a 73 so why do you need it here? You don't! Have fun
and log it.

Mike,
if you don't wait for an RR73 or RRR message (they serve the same
purpose as conformations or receipt of a key piece of QSO information)
then you don't know that your report to your QSO partner has been
received, that is not a complete two-way QSO by any reckoning. No
contest rules or award rules would accept such a QSO as valid. A 73
message is not the same as a RR73 message, they are very different.
