I to make frequent use of NR NR NR. However even after doing that
multiple times there are occasions when there is no clean winner. As in
189 printed 6 times, 188 printed five times and pure garbage printed four
times. In that case I use %F4 to send 189 189 189 ??? If I see
something that resembles QSL or RRR then I know I have it right,
otherwise I keep on trying until we seem to have a valid Q in the log.
Yes I occasionally send the received report, but only in an attempt to
confirm I have it correct. Maybe this is a carry over from my SSB
contesting where I tend to confirm any marginal exchange when running.
