Hi All, I would be happy, if we follow what is written in User Guide in section 7.4. for ARRL RU Roundup in contents. There RR73 is the last message and all participant should log QSO, when sending it or receiving it. There are situation, when sender needs to resend RR73 due to R(something) and sometimes you cannot be sure whether your RR73 is received. In any case it is better to log the QSO at least from the other end point of view; you have told him that the QSO is complete by that RR73. Log checking will tell the truth, hopefully not a NIL, hi!
73, Reino oh3mA From: John Kludt [mailto:johnnykl...@gmail.com] Sent: 28. helmikuuta 2020 19:13 To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] FT4 and FT8 Contesting Claude, As was said early in this thread, open to many interpretations. When contesting on CW or phone once the exchange has been sent both ways, the fact that the initiating station calls CQ or goes onto another station is taken as evidence that the QSO is complete. There is no exchange of "QSL's" or "73's". In fact for the hard core saying things like "Thank you" are considered extra words that just slow you down. Why is an increased level of assurance needed for this mode? Other than it is easy to do, at least in theory.

In few words: The QSO is complete when both stations have received "73" (or "RR73") from the other station, without error.
