Maybe a small correction to my proposal: IMO wsjt-x should auto-log all 
incomplete QSOs when all necessary data have been exchanged between the two 
callsigns. Necessary data means exchange of the callsigns, and during contests 
the reports and Exch (but not the 73 or RR73 messages). In case the final 73 or 
RR73 message is not received after two repeats wsjt-x shall automatically add 
'QSO incomplete' at Comments. 

Wouldn’t something like be that what we need? Reason I am proposing this is 
that (a) I saw dozens of ‘incomplete’ QSOs, where the exchange of the necessary 
data took less than one minute, but then an endless series of “73” or “RR73” 
exchanges followed, and (b) lots of OMs are not willing or able to check their 
wsjt-x’s all.txt and log such a QSO manually. Please consider also that there 
are many countries around the world where from the legal point of view a QSO 
which is mandatory to be logged took place even after one single exchange of 
signals between two stations.

IMO wsjt-x should auto-log all incomplete QSOs when at least one successful 
exchange of the two callsigns was there. Just let wsjt-x automatically add 'QSO 
incomplete' at Comments.
