Then, IMHO, your contest effort was a success!
Personally, I fail to see any reason to acknowledge the "other station's"
report: "N5UWY/9 TNX 555 UR 181 181 181 de AA5VU"? Your reply to me, without
any "again, NR, etc", tells me that you have copied, and are satisfied with,
what I sent? The inclusion of an RST, in a contest that doesn't require one,
is simply a waste of time, for both stations? Depending on conditions, I
use:
CR XX3XX exchange exchange CR
or
CR XX3XX exchange exchange exchange exchange QSL??CR

The "CR" is far more important, for me, than the repeated exchange, as it
will get the exchange on a "new" line, without all the "mess"?
