Mike’s
post on the inventory insert test included reference to the missing QSLs from
DX tests. This is the principle reason I don’t send many reception
reports any more, as even the virtually guaranteed verifications are not
forthcoming many times. Rather than spend time with a report, with or
without a recording, I’ll just drop and email or postal card saying
thanks for the test, and move along myself. I have no interest pursuing a
station’s QSL if the person who promised the QSL cannot fulfill the
promise, or is unwilling to do so after the fact. Several DX tests over
the last year have been met with complete silence on the verification
request. I do
send reports for unusual receptions, and you can bet that if Fox Farms, WY,
ever goes into the log here that station will get a nice letter. If they
choose to QSL, it will be most welcome, nearly as much as hearing the station
will be. But for the most part, I’m quite satisfied to have heard a
station, and let it go at that. Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year! Gerry
