I would hate to guess how many reports I sent out with a tiny piece of your stated minimum. The bottom line when reporting is if you can pin down information that you would not be able to guess at occurring at a specific time. If you got phone numbers that were NOT station numbers listed on their web site, they likely belong to an advertiser or the subject of a PSA. If they were doing a show on victims of violence, that may be on their web site, but if you could say that it was a female host or a female guest, or provide some otherwise specific information, a two-minute report could be just the right two minutes.
As an example, back in 1980, KNBR (San Francisco) was off the air but had OC running. They dropped it for about 10 seconds at TOH, and I was incredibly lucky to have a verbatim ID from WCAW in Charleston WV and their temperature. That 10 seconds was enough because it was so specific. I'd say
report it!

Mike, Dennis, Neil,
I feel better already, hi.
I'm pretty sure my other "assorted programming" was KAZM. I mentioned Shania Twain, but then I also heard some new stuff, then the Eagles etc. For KNOM, I actually heard two numbers mentioned (both for the same Nome location). I don't know about sending them a report. The PSA was sufficient, and your right about being in their log, but there really isn't
anymore that I could positively identify as theirs. My old shortwave days tells me to get a half-hour of info., before sending a report!
Neil, even though we didn't talk much, I was out at the 29 Palms beverage site with you in (I think) 1982. I know Jim Hilliker and Steve Mittman were there, but I don't remember who else. I just brought my RS TRF, hi.
Thanks go to Dennis for mentioning that KKOH was off for this. Two Nomes in one evening!
73- Doug
