I thought I saw somewhere that in order to consider a QSO valid, you
had to exchange callsigns and one other piece of information. The
other piece of info can be anything. We typically exchange signal
reports as DXers but on VHF it's usually grid squares. Exchanging
signal reports on VHF is more rare.
Some contests don't have a signal report as part of the exchange, e.g. NAQP.
