a.      Answering a CQ:
CQ WW W0YK DM97              Tx6
W0YK K6PO R DM12               Tx3
K6PO W0YK RR73                     Tx4
b.      Tailending a QSO. K6PO has already copied W0YK’s grid. Then:
W1AW W0YK RR73                  Tx4
W0YK K6PO R DM12               Tx3
K6PO W0YK RR73                     Tx4
c.      Tailending a QSO. K6PO has not yet copied W0YK’s grid. Then:
W1AW W0YK RR73                  Tx4
W0YK K6PO DM12                   Tx2
K6PO W0YK R DM97               Tx3
W0YK K6PO RR73
These are NOT contacts!  Contact rules specifically state that you must copy 
your call sign from your QSO partner before sending a report.  Regardless of 
the fact that some misguided contest rules may allow ‘contacts’ in that form, 
those contacts would not be good for other awards (DXCC, VUCC, etc).
Eliminating 73 – a bad idea.  If I send 73 and the other guy receives it, then 
he knows it was a good contact.  If I continue to send my report then he should 
know to continue sending RRR.  Otherwise he may log a contact that was 
incomplete.
