[IRCA] DX Test Summaries (Next Time)

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

I'm surprised and pleased at the importance that folks attach to

the "after action" reports that we generate for the DX tests.

 

Keeping with Lynn Hollerman's tradition, we provide the DX Tests

summaries as a kind of snapshot of how the tests went. When

there are a lot of postings, it can be difficult to keep things straight

and we apologize for any errors.

 

DX'ers can make our job easier and insure that they receive proper

credit in the future by following some easy steps:

 

1. Within 48 hours of the test submit a posting to any of these

lists or directly to me with the subject line: DX Test results.

 

2. In all postings (IMO) to any list regarding DX include your name

and location. You'd be amazed how much time I spend trying

to figure out someone last's name and/or location.

 

3. Many DX'er are interested in the equipment used to receive

a test. Feel free to include it and if reports are limited we'll try

to work that in.

 

4. State clearly in the message if you are claiming reception of the

test or not. We get a lot of messages from early in the test that

say things like "bits of code received". Then nothing further from

the DX'er.

 

At that point, we're guessing about if they received the test or not.

 

I think suggestions one-three apply to almost any post to a DX related

list. Most e-mail programs allow you to create a signature file

to make this easy.

 

On a related note, Kent Winrich asked DX'ers to be patient with him

as he works on sending out verifications to last weekends tests

in Milwaukee. He's had a busy week so far.

 

73,
