Dear WSJT haters. The software does exchange call signs, signal reports and believe it or not even grid squares. I wish you guys would stop your belly aching on this mode. This may be hard for some to except but the software will never go away. No matter how much one bitches about it.

The EME Operating Guide for 432MHz and Above published by G3SEK says
the following about a minimum EME QSO:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The definition of a minimum valid QSO is that both stations have
copied all of the following:
1. Both callsigns from the other station
2. Signal report from the other station (or some other previously
unknown piece of
information, e.g. the other station's Locator grid)
3. R from the other station, to acknowledge complete copy of 1 and 2.
This has been the standard definition of a minimum EME QSO for many years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above was agreed on after a lengthy discussion at the EME
conference in Prague and is still valid. Very much so I might add.
To this day I find it terribly hard to accept that one man (K1JT) has
decided that this agreement is of absolutely no importance to him and
his followers. All because his cheating software (Deep Search
module), combined with the callsign limitations, is unable to fulfill
minimum EME QSO requirements.
Adding, subtracting or modifying part of a licensed callsign, just
because the software is unable to deal with it, is just pathetic. And
certainly not in agreement with the established minimum EME QSO definition.
What is more pathetic is trying to justify these software limitations
and shortcomings instead of recognizing them and fixing them. But it
is all in the interest of adding another new initial to the personal
list of success. Of course, as cheating has become the norm for so many.
JT4 is another fine example of extended minimum being taken to the
next level of minimum.. single tone messages. No wonder that old
established microwave records are now "beaten" and replaced, one
after the other. In doing so, smearing previous hard earned microwave
achievements. Pathetic - yes. Insulting - yes, why keep a list of
records any more? It's no longer a new distance that's broken, it's
rather an all time low in transfer of QSO information.
As you all know by now - CW is King! Thanks Samuel Morse - still to
this day an outstanding communication protocol for full transfer of
(any) QSO information!
