I had 3 QSOs in the 1954 SS but unfortunately my old paper log doesn't show the full exchange.  I was running a Heath AT-1 at 20 watts and a Hallicrafters S-40 receiver.  My 1955 SS log only reflects sent and received numbers, section, and points accrued - in those days the rules allowed 1 point for each half of the QSO.  No indication of a check or precedence, though I sort of remember them being required

I operated SS until 1971, so it was some time after that.

What year was the exchange altered to eliminate RST and Time as part of
the exchange, and add the Check?  Some time in the '60s?  Jim W6YA
