My suggestion is not to banish reports. The software can (and should) determine SNR, display it and report it up the spotter path. No harm at all. The valuable data on PSKReporter, HamSpots, etc., would remain intact. The SNR would just not be part of the default over-the-air VHF+ exchange.
The suggestion is to enable “grids only” QSOs at VHF and above, with the focus on helping rovers, capitalizing on short openings, and meteor scatter. On 2m in North America, at least, CM is the de facto standard for 2m and above ms already. Having the software support it as default without a Cabrillo log and “CQ TEST” would help. The latter especially if directed CQs or QSX modes (e.g. CQ 160) are desired. By streamlining the default VHF+ contact sequence, we would also gain improved compatibility between contest mode users and those not using CM (either by setting or different software). Sequence confusion should be kept to a minimum. George J Molnar College Park, Maryland KF2T | FM19ma
