I want to add my 2 cents worth on a couple of Les's comments...

*** I think those folks may be putting the cart before the horse. For
most stations, full power tests running a half hour or more are already
a thing of the past and have been for some time. That's exactly why the
inventory insert concept came about - because fewer and fewer stations
were interested in the other.

I say any test is better than no test, and if it has the sweep tones,
it'll be heard.

*** Here again, QSL's direct from the station are also fast becoming a
thing of the past. Does anyone care to list the number of 'regular'
tests run last year which have not been QSL'ed ? Hint: about half. A
QSL signed by the test arranger or provider is a lot better than none
at all, and I'm not an avid QSL'er - I tape it and most of the time
that's enough for me. Anymore I only QSL on tests.
