[IRCA] Notes on "Inventory Insert" DX Tests

[Mike Hardester <DX4EVR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

         First, it's great to see another DX Test in the making, and 
one that tests the "Inventory Insert" concept. However, at the risk 
of being shot before breakfast, just a question on such tests: who 
will be handling the QSLs?

         Maybe I should ask -- Will there be a person (in the hobby) 
handling QSLs if the point of contact at the station moves on, or 
whatever? Yeah, I know - a touchy subject.

         As I understand, the coordinator for the WISN-1130 
(Wisconsin) test this past February has moved on. Things like that 
happen, but it would be nice to have a back-up for instances where a 
DXer hears a NEEDED state, sends a report, cassette and return 
postage, and then nothing. To be fair, nearly all of the DX Tests 
which I have heard and reported in the past have resulted in a QSL. 
Also, my bust for not keeping a tape of the test :-(

         Regardless, keep the tests coming - I'm a sucker for 
listening and sending reports.
