Indeed they are good contacts. W0YK is a leading contester, was part of
getting FT4 and FT8 integrated with major RTTY contests.
You guys are looking at things from the perspective of non-contesters.

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.
