Topband: QSL or CFM or R?

[Doug Renwick]

I prefer QSL or CFM over R or Roger.  In cw if a letter is missed, the
missing letter can be 'filled in'.  With R, if parts are missed, the missed
parts cannot be filled in.  The same with SSB, but not to the same extent.
When I hear QSL or CFM it gives me a much higher level of confidence than R
or Roger.
