[Moon-net] Reports in QSL

[DF2ZC Bernd]

Hi Kjell,

My understanding is: there is but one! A correct report is only "O", nothing
else. It can be complemented by a S/N ratio etc, but only the "O" may stand
in the report box of a QSL card. 

However, there is something else re JT QSOs which is frequently done wrong:
the mode. Very often I see as mode "WSJT", "JT65" or "JT65b". As far as I'm
aware nothing of these three is a valid mode description such as SSB or CW.
In QSOs with the WSJT software the mode is "MFSK" - Multi Tone Frequency
Shift Keying". Actually it should even be MAFSK since the tones are audio
tones injected into the mic line.

I have never heard of QSL cards being rejected when somebody wrote JT65 as
mode, also with DXCC.

Hi,
I have received some QSLs for JT QSOs.

What is the group idea about the validity of QSLs for JT65 QSO:s where the
report either is filled in as "RRR" or "RO"?

Neither is a report I am afraid, the report has been "O".

Will the QSL still be valid for DXCC and other awards?
