Hi Saku,
Thanks for the information.
So here is the section in your reference regarding what constitutes a valid QSO
1. It is recommended that a QSO (meaning communication; 2-way contact) between
two
radio station operators is complete, when the
following exchange has been completed via
radio, without outside help by others:
a. both radio station operators have comprehended each other's call
signs; plus
b. some other information (commonly
a report, for instance RST) has been
exchanged; plus
c. confirmations have been exchanged
that the other operator has received the
above (call sign and some other information).
Paragraph 1c does not say that you need “confirmation of the confirmations.”
Rather, 1c requires that confirmations be exchanged that the call sign and QSO
information have been received. In the example below, I confirmed receipt of
her information in my TX3 transmission with the “R.” She confirmed receipt of
my information with her TX4 transmission with the “RR.” No further
confirmations are required. The TX5 autosequence transmission, that I am
proposing be deleted, is only “73,” which is a nice pleasantry, but not a
confirmation of anything, and slows down the QSO rate by 50%, 90 seconds per
QSO vs. 60 seconds per QSO.

Hi!
Maybe because of this.

"Conclusion. 1c" at the end of document is read so that confirmation of
confirmations must be received both sides.
I.e your 73 will confirm her RR73 to be received.

I tried using the following sequence in the contest last night.
I SEND (TX6) CQ RU K6LL DM22
SHE SENDS (TX2) K6LL K7ABC 569 AZ
I SEND (TX3) K7ABC K6LL R 579 AZ
SHE SENDS (TX4) K6LL K7ABC RR73
I SEND (TX6) CQ RU K6LL DM22
It worked OK sometimes, but several callers kept coming back for more info,
apparently looking for that final (TX5) “73” from me. I guess I don’t
understand why they were looking for that. When I send TX3, the R tells her
that I got her report. When she sends RR73, she tells me that she got my
report. The QSO data has gone into the log at both ends and all is good. Why
can’t I start an immediate CQ, and why doesn’t the automatic sequence follow
that pattern? It would shorten the QSO time from 90 seconds to 60 seconds.
Thanks.
