Andy: 

Here's the correct exchange with a few notes to clarify...

Message Sent              Sent by                     Meaning

CQ K3UK FN02               K3UK               CQ de K3UK in Grid FN02
K3UK KT2Q FN30           KT2Q                K3UK de KT2Q in Grid FN30
KT2Q K3UK FN02 000     K3UK                KT2Q de K3UK in FN02 your report is 
"O"
RO                                 KT2Q                Roger, received my 
report and your report is "O"
RRR                               K3UK                Roger
73                                  KT2Q                73

It's realy not much different than any other QSO exchange; the minimum 
requirement for a "legitimate" QSO would be callsigns and reports given both 
ways! 

If any WSJT messages are skipped, other than the optional "73" then information 
will be missing from one party or the other. Hope this helps...
