Hi Ian:
I had a VY0 call me during SS CW. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get a
power
or year out of him so I didn't log the QSO. Missed a sweep because he was my
only
NT QSO. I don't think it was a valid contest QSO unless both participants send
all
of the exchange information so I agree with your choice.
I would have worked the KP4 and asked him for the year. Did he refuse to
give it when asked?
I won't log a Sweepstakes QSO unless I get the exchange elements though I
cheerfully walk people through it (sometimes even in CW) if given a chance.
And, I'll take it in whatever order I can get it though the correct order and
expected
elements make things much faster!
73,
Mark, KD4D
