Contest QSOs are generally treated as invalid when they appear in one
station's log and not the supposed QSO partner's. To avoid Not-in-Log
(NIL) penalties for yourself and others, we recommend the following
guidelines for contest logging with FT4, FT8, and MSK144:
- Activate and learn to use the alternate F1-F6 bindings selectable
on the *Settings | General* tab.
- Always log a QSO when you have received RRR, RR73, or 73 from a
station you are working.
- Log a QSO when you send RR73 or 73 if you are reasonably confident
it will be copied. But be sure to watch for any indication that it
was not copied, and then take appropriate action. For example, if
you receive the Tx3 message (R plus contest exchange) again, hit F4
to re-send your RR73.
