[Moon] Help !

Assuming that you called the other station; his call, your call, etc. after  
his CQ and before receiving his answer, then this is not only a valid qso but  
the normal way a JT65 qso is done.

Right,
 
Lets get down to the  " nitty gritty  "
 
Here is an example
 
JT65B or Digital EME Mode
 
G4HGI copies a station using JT65B who he  see's on on4kst N0UK or cluster
"  144125  (call)  CLG  CQ JT65B " 
 

The other station comes back to G4HGI with both calls and the report  ( if 
I'm lucky with my pip squeak station)
 
G4HGI responds with  RO report
 
The other station replies with RRRR
 
G4HGI copies this and replies with 73 73 although the qso is complete  anyway.
 
So
 
Is that a complete qso or not  ??
 
Clearly the receiving station would not know my call at all because I  have 
not  typed anything on the aforementioned cluster, KST or N0UK
or had any other communication with him other than the reply to his  CQ.
 
But his station copied my call -  yes I restrained from saying " He  " copied 
the call
because he didn't actually hear it with his ears and  decoded it with his 
brain the computer / software did it.
 
So we are left with the problem of ..  well yes the 2 stations did  make a 
qso or they didn't.
 
Can somebody tell me if I did make a qso or not ?
 
I am not interested how big your antenna is or how much power you are  
running only whether I have made a valid qso.
 
There is no intention in getting into the CW - v - JT argument that seems  to 
rage on and on filling everybody's Inboxes with rubbish.
 
I hope I have posed a constructive question and not any attempt to "  flame 
things up " and hope to get some un biased views on this   
as there seems to be some very very strong feelings on both sides of the  
fence !!!
 
Thank you and best 73 to all
 
 
 
Richard  G4HGI
