This weekend is the ARRL November Sweepstakes (SS) on CW. I plan to be
on the air,
making as many points as possible. SS is perhaps my favorite contest,
because it
requires a real exchange (4 pieces of info besides the callsign, and
the signal report
is not part of the exchange.)


RS(T) is a standard "piece" of info. A QSO would not be complete
without it, IN MY OPINION. If there are any ARRL card checkers out
there, is a card without a signal report valid?


Just check the ARRL website. All that is required are the band, mode, call
signs and date. No RST is required.

Thanks for checking, Dee. I was wrong.
