I always thought that what I sent to stations was called a verification report and then they in turn send a qsl card or letter. Correct? No? FWIW my location is Cincinnati,Oh. Among MW DXers, one sends a reception report and receives a verification or confirmation of reception from the station. Station staffs seldom know the "Q" codes, and most would have no idea what a "QSL" card is. Since most stations have contract engineers, not staff engineers, its likely that a verification would come from someone in the office... the manager, PD, office manager, etc., and they probably don't know much about DXing in general... including the term "DXing." Among themselves, AM DXers have called any confirmation of reception a "verie" for the last 60 or 70 years. But at the station level, this term is as unknown as QSL or QTH or DX. For these reasons, reporting to anything except the big 50 kw clear channel stations should use lay terms to the tone of "I heard your station... here is what I heard... If this is correct, I'd value a verification from you that I indeed heard your station." From where I sit, our local AM, a 50 kw fulltime facility, only gets maybe 2 to 3 reception reports a year. Because our DOE is a ham, he knows what to do with them. But many stations are not familiar with AM DXing any more. In fact, some think that distant reception shows them operating outside licensed values, and reports frighten them! |

My post contains a lot more useful DX information than anything you have posted lately, which seems to be links to lists that you did not prepare yourself. You brain must be frozen in that horrible part of Michigan. |
