Re: [IRCA] QSL from WIGG 1420 for DX TEST



Folks, I gotta say, any time you get a response from a station these days
and the "intent" is to verify your reception, you need to be grateful. I am
certain that this was the intent by WIGG. The days of insisting upon a full
data verification with date, time, frequency, power, etc., and an
unambiguous "your reception is verified" statement or the like are gone. In
a word, no, not all stations are aware of what constitutes what we DXers
would categorize as a full data QSL. And I'm not about to try and launch an
education program. Again, we are lucky to get the test and a snail-mail
response to our reception reports at all.

I thought the definition of a "QSL" confirms a date?  Isn't this instead a
"Verie?"  On another note, aren't the stations that run these DX tests aware
of "QSL" response?
