Required info on QSL ?
 

I'm chasing my 6 meter WAS and VUCC and have been receiving quite a few cards
with missing information ... no RST, no DATE, without my CALL !

From the ARRL site under DXCC rules it states:

4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the call signs of
both stations, the Entity name as shown in the DXCC List, mode, and date, time
and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1, cross-mode contacts are not permitted
for DXCC credits. Confirmations not containing all required information may be
rejected.

Does a QSL require a RST report?

I've been sending them back with a SASE to be filled out.

Thoughts?

Signal report is not required. For VUCC, the grid square is required in
addition to the normal items.

Yeah, I saw that you are allowed to write the grid square on the address side
of the card in pencil, if it's not clearly marked on the info side of the card.

As for the other comment ... what have YOU accomplished lately other than down
a few beers???

What other comment? Besides I don't drink beer.

In the past I have had HF cards rejected for lack of RST and dates.
I do not know if this applies to VHF cards or still applies to HF cards ?
Best ask the local ARRL awards manager
See awards managers for your locale at the ARRL pages

At least you are receiving cards -- I sent out 142 6M cards for VUCC with
SASE's and return rate is about 60 %

And for WAS cards of the 48 I have worked -- still missing 2 cards -- sent
with SASE over a year ago.

Oh well work em again I guess.

They can't reject it for lack of RST but the card MUST have a date on it.

I can assure you that in last decade, my HF contact with Panama was
rejected -- it was a CW QSO and the mode and RST were missing.

Maybe in the eye of the checker huh ????
