Hi Graham,
That's the first I've heard of an IARU standard for a QSO, not saying there isn't any. Interesting. Does the IARU issue awards in which you submit QSO data to them to obtain?

Hi Jeff,
Here in IARU Region 1 we agreed a definition of a valid QSO sometime back for VHF and above. They are shown in this extract http://www.southgatearc.org/news/may2007/qso_definition.htm I suspect that such definitions have probably not yet been elaborated in the other two IARU Regions 73 Graham G3VZV -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Yanko Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2016 10:31 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] QSO Protocol Callsign and grid square is all that is needed, plus the time, (UTC).

Hi Jeff,
For VHF in IARU Region 1 it is all here, currently encapsulated in 144 (!) pages. The decisions and recommendations have been distilled as a result of agreements reached in regional meetings held every 18 months for the past “n” years. Download
I am not sure about awards but there are lots of contests which now have online entry systems.
Of course generally only EME and satellite operations extend across Regional “Borders” on these frequencies.
Happy reading

Callsign and grid square is all that is needed, plus the time, (UTC). Signal report on any birds isn't necessary.
BTW, signal reports aren't needed for HF QSO under WAS or DXCC.
