Not sure these even exist, legal or not. And what is a typical amateur
QSO these days? Most of mine are like:

(9Q1AA) G3YMC 5NN
(G3YMC) TU 5NN

or
(9A1AA) G3YMC 5NN 5TA2
(G3YMC) TU 5NN T84
(9A1AA) TU 9A1AA TEST

(0 is sent as a T, 1 as a A, 9 as N)

As for ragchews, nothing other than name, report and qth ever gets
written down.

FISTS run live nets with conversational qsos.

I've frequently heard the ones on 40m , otherwise it's mostly contests
and rubber stamp qsos as you say. I'm as guilty as the rest. The FISTS
ones are quite readable once you get into the groove.
