I think the consensus solution would be to make it a user option.Seems the
meteor scatter people have the most problems with it since they were quick to
speak up.
I had proposed at one time to make the "Prompt me to log QSO" a tri-state box
so one could check 73, 73+RRR, or none. But seems the binary choice is clearer
and there are no other tri-state checkboxes in WSJT-X.
So this patch makes it optional with an added option line below the current
prompt option. All worlds should be happy with this.

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Prompt to log QSO when either RRR or 73 is sent
IMHO the introduction of the log QSO prompt when you are sending RRR does not
solve or help anything.
It is useless when you are doing meteor scatter. If I’m sending Tx3 and the
other station hears that and sends Tx4 and then logs the contact, it is not a
valid QSO because I have no idea if the other station has heard my report. I
will end up sending Tx3 several times until I just give up on the contact.

was introduced in r7431. I think its bad form to get a prompt to log the QSO
when you are sending RRR. How do you know if your QSO partner has received it
if he does not send 73 back to you?? Jay Hainline KA9CFDColchester, IL EN40om
