Also, considering that in past years when time wasn't an issue, I used
to
regularly receive Atlantic 252 on longwave here in the Midwestern USA
state of Indiana. Not to mention quite a few other longwave catches
starting just after dark local time.

- That is not even an interesting catch.

Many of the LW stations could be used
as indicators of conditions favoring low band MW European DXing when
more of
the LW stations existed. When the LW stations were exceptionally strong,
you
could look for things like Lisbon on 655 that would indicate a good
trans-Atlantic path.

Yep, just now sent a post lamenting how DXers used to be radio fans. Now
they are declared enemies of the broadcasters and are, in a considerable
percentage, radio haters. You should see some of the reception reports AMs
get these days. The ones that are not lies often have demands for a "QSL"
as if most radio broadcasters knew what a QSL or QRM or SINPO even mean.

I guess that does say that most broadcasters are ignorant of what
traditional radio was all about since QSLs were a pretty solid part of the
hobby since the earliest years before the corporate boards deemed the
consumer largely irrelevant. As they do today. Seeing the general lack of
education in US society, one must wonder if even the station staff or
engineers would even know much about any of the traditions of radio.

No, "verifications of reception" were common. Few AM and FM radio folks know
what a QSL card is. AM DXers collect "veries" and not QSLs.

In most cases, they are irrelevant to today's broadcast environment where
the competiton is new media, no an out of town skywave delivered signal

Apparently they're relevant enough to put a bee in your bonnet.
