A related question is what is considered sufficient for completing the QSO,
especially on CW?
For example (say in CQWW CW):
XX1XX: CQ TEST XX1XX XX1XX
K7GK: K7GK
XX1XX: K7GK 5NN 14
K7GK: R 5NN 3
XX1XX: <see below>
case 1:
XX1XX: TU XX1XX
case 2:
XX1XX: TEST XX1XX
case 3:
XX1XX: EE XX1XX
case 4:
XX1XX: EE
Case 1 is pretty clear-cut, I keep the QSO. Other cases are not so clear to me.
What if I miss EE due to QSB or QRM, should I ask for confirmation? Clearly,
this is where experience should help, it depends on how loud XX1XX in, how
heavy is the pile-up on him, and so forth. Also, do I have to use some kind of
confirmation in my reply (R in the example)?
All of this is of particular interest to me since I plan on using Win-Test in
WW (for the first time seriously) and I'm figuring out all the messages/key
mapping and related stuff.
