[Elecraft] FW: 4W6A Video, count the K3's !

[Anndel]

I beg to differ unless I'm mistaken but DXCC doesn't require signal report
exchanges.  All that's required are the frequency, date and time in UTC,
callsign and mode.  These are the required parameters that needs to be
uploaded in ARRL's Logbook of the World for DXCC credits/awards.

Because without an rst, however it is derived, the qsl isn't valid for dxcc.
