[BULK] - [SixClub] CW QSO's during auroa

[Steve Katz]

Most all awards-worthy exchanges include a minimum of two pieces of
information, one being the callsign.  The second piece can be a signal
report, or a grid square, and of course VHF'ers place higher priority on the
grid exchange.  AU CW "tone" report is an "A" in lieu of 1-9, e.g., for a
strong AU signal, "59A."  Most AU signals are strong enough to have an
actual QSO, time permitting, unlike M.S.  As such, in my thousands of AU
contacts over the years, I've normally reported signal strength and QTH
(originally state, then grid square starting in the mid-80's), and often
even name and some station info, e.g., "1kW to 6 elements" or whatever.
CFM, TNX or TU are common methods of indicating confirmation of information
exchanged, 73 and QRZ? have their normal meaning and denote the end of a
contact and that you're looking for another.  -WB2WIK/6

What would be an optimum compact exchange of information in a aurora CW QSO?
What is the minimum information exchanged to consider it a contact?
Could someone send me a sample CW transmission exchange?
Is it best to use ?BK to acknowledge copy or callsigns and KN?  
Thanks,
bob
