Like existing contests not using FT4/8 - over time an accepted norm will end up
occurring. At the end of the day, if you have it in your log and they have it
in their log, with the right information, it's a good Q, right? Many of us
have logged a Q that we were 95% sure was good and 95% of the time - it's a
verified Q on the other end. Will the software actually allow such judgment
calls? Not sure.
The way Bruce describes it, sure sounds like a lot of QRM causing inefficiency
happening.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] When is a FTn Contest QSO Complete?
QSO is over when each side acknowledges receipt.
This can be RR73, RRR or 73.
Not before.
