Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WAPI/WJOX DX Test Follow Up Notes

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Willis:

Here's what I read in two of Les' posts about this test. A recording is
suggested but not mandatory. If you can't do an MP3 or other recording, it
looks like you could still submit a report, explain why you didn't have a
recording, and still get a verie.

Merry Christmas to you too, fella.


Chuck

Verification will require a recording in almost
all cases.

Reception reports are desired via e-mail (first choice) and 
snail mail (only if e-mail is not available) Station would prefer 
to received recordings of the test (MP3, CD, or cassette).

Les Rayburn-
I wanted to personally thank you for all of your efforts in eliminating me
and many others from particpating in this DX test.
By requiring a recording, that I have no way of doing, and by requiring that
it be sent by e-mail, which I have no way doing,
you and the NRC have managed to eliminate myself and I am sure a number of
others from joining in with club activies.

The entire world doesn't have mp3 stuff and recorders, nor the money to
waste on purchasing such crap.

Thank you and the NRC for your lack of thoughtfulness and consideration to
all the members. Just one more waste of my dues money.

Some follow up information on the upcoming DX Test, quoted directly
from the station staff:

The first will run on December 27th (Tuesday Morning) at 12:59 AM CST with
the last at 2:59 AM CST.   This will be repeated on Wednesday December 28th
and Thursday, December 29th.

Note: This applies to WAPI only in regards to the "second test" on each
night.
WJOX has a floating format, meaning the local break comes between :19
and :34 minutes past the hour. Test starts late on Monday night-Tuesday
morning.

As indicated in the original posting, I'll be handling QSL requests (for the
test
only) for the station(s). Verification will require a recording in almost
all cases. With the test being on sixty seconds in length, I think it
will be nearly impossible to verify reception based solely on a description
and timing.

E-mail is my first choice, with snail mail a very distant second. Expect
for it to takes months to receive a snail mail verification. We will
produce a .JPEG file suitable for printing that will be e-mailed to all
correct reporters. Mark Subject line: WAPI/WJOX RECEPTION REPORT

73,
