QSL'd (veried, for those in Glendale) here back in 1984, but indeed, get
'em
whilst you can.

Confirmations of reception for MW DXers, to this day, are called "veries"
as
in "verifications" and not QSLs, althogh QSL can be used and is
understood.

I started SWLing around 1961, got my first ham license in 1965, have been
around this newsgroup since 1990, and this is the very first mention of
such a term I have ever encountered.

You may have missed the fact I was referring to MW, not SW DXing.

- I suggest you look at the National Radio Club or
- International Radio Club of America page.
- Verifications for US MW DXers have been called veries
- for more than half a century.
- MW DXers speak of their "verie count" and "verifications received"
- and use "QSL" to a much lesser extent...
- since few MW stations send QSL cards,
- and haven't since the 40's for the most part.
-
- In fact, into the 50's many, many stations verified
- with EKKO stamps, not QSL cards.

OK - What's an EKKO Stamp ?
