RR73 is not part of the exchange from a contest rules perspective. However, it
is a highly recommended messaging element to help QSO partners best decide if
the QSO is complete and loggable. This is true for CW, SSB, RTTY, etc as
well.73,Ed W0YK

of callsign and one piece of info by each party, and the acknowledgement of
receipt by by each. Each station must receive acknowledgement of the other's
exchange. If that "information" is the signal report, The first ack is the R in
R-10, the second, by the other station, is RRR or RR73. What is NOT required is
73. But it IS required for each station to have copied the other's ack. And
when one QSO partner repeats either R-10 or RRR or RR73, it is his indication
that he didn't copy the ack, and the other station should repeat the ack.73,
