I have noticed lately that when I send CQ on FT8 A few stations respond with the signal report not their grid square.

Is there something here I do not understand?

Hi Tim,

there is no requirement to exchange grid squares for a valid minimal QSO. Exchanging and confirming both callsigns and a signal report is sufficient. Similar observations apply to sending an RR73 message when copy is good enough for first-time decodes. Combining both techniques allows the maximum QSO rate to be increased if desired.
