[IRCA] Keeping DX dates straight

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

The dating style I use in DX Listening Digest, and highly recommend for use
elsewhere:

Date always goes next to the time in the body of the item. NOT in the credit
line, as so many DXers format their reports, inexplicably.

If there is a date in the credit line, it refers to the date of the report, or
the date of the publication quoted, which is likely to be later, sometimes much
later, than the date of reception. Lacking a date of reception, we may have
nothing to go on but the date or report or publication, but in this case (India
1566) the date was included in the body of the report.

73, Glenn Hauser
