That is your opinion. All that needs to happen is both sides receive
some data. A confirmation is never required. I never get that when
working DXpeditions so why would I expect it on FT8. I never get
confirmations on my 60k contest contacts either. Not sure what
contests you have been in. CQ WW 599 04. Done and gone, the DX does
not and does not have to send back anything. Stop trying to force your
way on others. Thanks.
Hi Mike,
no it is not just my opinion, for example this document is a good review
of the various opinions of the recognized bodies that might be involved
in the validity of QSOs:
http://hf.r-e-f.org/c4_iaru_r1/10vienne/VIE10_C4_11%20QSO%20definition.pdf
That is important because many of your QSO partners may be expecting to
use confirmed QSOs with you as entries for many of the awards and
contests managed by those bodies, if your unilateral definition of a
minimal QSO falls short of those requirements then you are doing your
QSO partners a disservice.
I also pointed out above that the view of a minimum QSO definition I
stated is consistent with that of the authors of the WSJT applications,
not just my opinion, and that the applications are written to conform to
that definition of a QSO. This thread is a request for dropping some of
the message exchange requirements expected by WSJT-X, not about
opinions. I was trying to explain why the minimum QSO exchange including
confirmations of receipt of information is non-negotiable as far as the
developers are concerned.
