I sent 'em both reception reports. No recordings
though. Thanks for the motivation! The GM from KNOM was raised here in Albany,
OR and I sent him some pictures from around the town along with the
report. Maybe the pictures and the little programming info. I sent will be
accepted as a full report, hi.

Doug,
Send the station a recording. That generally works the best as
they can
hear their own ancrs. Both Nome stations used to have really nice
QSLs
too.
Great going!

I have to agree with Mike on minimum time for report details.
On SWBC,
it's usually easier to get 15-30 minutes worth of info,
ostensibly the
station is really interested in knowing that you listened
for program
content. In the case of BCB, as Mike said, you may only get 10
seconds,
but if it is specific and unique, that seems to be enough for
most
report readers/verifiers. I'm not sure many of those folks are all
that
interested in slogging through 30 minutes of details anyway. Plus,
they
know that you will not be a regular listener as might be the case for
SWBC. Just my two cents worth.

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!
