[IRCA] QSL Requests for Montana "Big Sky DX Test"

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for any confusion. All reports for the Montana DX Tests go directly to 
me. No reports
should be sent to the stations. I would prefer to receive recordings rather 
than written
reports for several reasons:

1. Easier and faster to verify.
2. Usually stations love to "hear" what they sound like at great distances. 
This makes it easy
to share them with the staff.

E-mail is always easier and faster for me. Postal reports and replies are 
expensive, labor
intensive, and time consuming. If you must submit a Postal report, 
especially for the
Montana DX tests, then the following rules will apply:

A. SASE must be included. Not stamps, dollar bills, etc. Self Addressed 
stamped envelopes. Period.
B. Recordings will be answered first. Best method is a CD, second choice is 
a cassette that is "cued" to
the point of best reception. I don't have time to listen to 120 minutes of 
your DX.
C. Written reports only will be answered last. They take forever to check 
against logs
and accurately verify. Usually I have to "create" a log from a variety of 
sources. Time consuming.
D. Do not report via both e-mail and Postal mail. Don't have time to waste 
answering both. If you
have e-mail then use it.

Hope this clears things up.

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
