Hello Jim. Are you saying that the rules for a complete QSO can be different for contests vs non-contest contacts? How can that be. I am sure that every active station who works a new grid or new country in a contest, adds that to his station totals, and expects to get a QSL card or LOTW confirmation. To have a contest where the rules allow contacts that are not valid for non-contest awards makes no sense at all.
