I got an email off to St. Helena this morning about the reception
report
and whether or not it
was received and if a QSL (verie, for those in Glendale) had been sent.


You are such a moron.

You are such a fraud, 'Eduardo'. Now go pretend to own something, boy.

So, you are saying that MW DXers do not call their verifications of
reception "veries" despite overwhelming evidence from all quarters that we
do?

You are pretty sick. Eating those Lampry eels out of Lake Michigan again?


"Verie" has been the term for MW verification in North America since the
EKKO stamp went out of use. While MW DXers will understand the "QSL"
term,
we tend to apply it, if at all, to preprinted QSL cards that are
reminiscent
of SW cards.

If you look at the 50 Radex magazines from the 20's, 30's and early 40's
at
www.americanradiohistroy.com, you will see countless references to
"veries"
in the magazines... including the spoof columnist "Count deVeries."

If you have access to old issues of DX News or the IRCA Monitor, you will
see the "Verie Signers" columns as well as achievement tabulations based
on
"veries" received. And you will see plenty of NRC "Musings of the
Members"
that refer to "veries" of which some were also QSL cards.

The "thing" you will receive from St. Helena is a QSL. Were it for an MW
transmission, it is a verie.

What I'm saying is that you are such a fraud, 'Eduardo'. Please, try to follow
along, boy.

What you are saying is that MW verifications are not called "veries" since
you make fun of the term at every opportunity.

You are wrong, of course.

What he's saying is, though there is standardized terminology
used at any given point for very given circumstance, there are those
who morph one term into another application at will in casual
conversation among peers.

This is not medicine. A high level of specificity is not required
for communication of the point.

BCDXers use the term verie. Hams use the term QSL. My grandfather
did the same thing.

It's like my use of the term ADI. You don't like it. It's no
longer used in the business. Fine. It's no longer used officially.

But in casual conversations with my broadcast colleagues, (as
during lunch with Kipper, Thursday, it expressed an area of specific
dimensions, and commercial implications that current terminology
expresses with other parameters and in a more verbally cumbersome
way. He understood what I was saying. I understood what I was
saying. Two Ringwraiths speaking Orc.

Who cares.

Some here have bristled, here, at the use of the term
'kilocycles' or 'megacycles.' The correct contemprorary useage is
'kilohertz' or 'megahertz.' But experienced types, with a few 9
tower arrays under their belts may easily slip into a useage that's
archaic.

So what?

It's no different than you slipping into Spanish during an
English conversation with your Hispanic colleagues.

Or my college professor friend (since high school) slipping into
Middle English to make a point in a casual conversation among his
contemporaries. We all understand him. But no one is damned pedantic
that we need to correct him. And this is a group of college professors.

Yes, 'verie' refers to MW broadcasts among BCDXers. Got it. Ham
Q-code is a different language.

Lighten up.

You are inspiring the wrong person. Eduardo knows what the word means.
He isn't the one mocking it's use.

Kipper, whoever he is, as well as you, should know that there is a current,
well understood substitute for ADI called the DMA and is the only non-Metro
definition that will be enduring. Arbitron shed the ADI definition when they
quit TV, decades ago. And even the TSA disappears with the PPM.

DMA speaks to current TV markets. ADI speaks to the ones of the 70's...
pre-cable (although not pre-CATV) and pre-satellite and such.
