Well, I see it different... This is lifted right from the ARRL contest
specific rules for SS, look at the very last part. It states clearly how NU1AW
would respond to W1AW during a completed QSO.
73- Chuck
Exchange: The required exchange consists of:
1. 4.1. A consecutive serial number;
2. 4.2. Precedence;
1. 4.2.1. “Q” for Single Op QRP (5 Watts output or less);
2. 4.2.2. “A” for Single Op Low Power (up to 150 W output);
3. 4.2.3. “B” for Single Op High Power (greater than 150 W output);
4. 4.2.4. “U” for Single Op Unlimited;
5. 4.2.5. “M” for Multi-Op;

(Example: NU1AW would respond to W1AW’s call by sending: W1AW 123 B NU1AW 71
CT, which indicates QSO number 123, B for Single Op High Power, NU1AW, first
licensed in 1971, and in the Connecticut section.)

The rules say nothing about the order of the items to be exchanged. If you
copied their call then it was obviously sent at some point. Presumably you
would not have gotten as far as deleting the QSO if you didn't have their
call logged already. The ARRL may have a position on this. Maybe we
should ask "them" what "they" think before we get our knickers in a wad. I
bet this is not a new question.
