I don't know that there is a right or wrong answer. I only log 5 since that's a two-way contact with another ham.
1-4 are a two-way contact with an automatically controlled digital station or message forwarding system so I don't log them.

Good Evening Net105'rs!
(Before I ask this question I want to clarify I am in the US so logging is not required by the FCC - just in case this is see in other countries.)
In your opinion what do you consider a contact that can be logged in packet modes?
examples:
1) A new user logs into a packet BBS via RF
2) A packet user leaves you a message on your BBS and you reply
3) You successfully connect to another packet station and leave a message
4) You read a message someone left for you on another station and reply to it
5) You have a keyboard to keyboard chat with another operator via HF
6) You hear another stations beacon
In my opinion:
2-5 should be a logged contact
6 - nah, I can't see that as logged
1 - I sort of think this is a valid contact, they did connect via RF and used the BBS to setup an account.
What are your thoughts?
