of all people, i figured you would have been in the first mailing.

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.

After an email exchange, Laura Lawrence, current Station Mgr. (who leaves the post on Friday) has
told m that she'll be sending me the QSL (verie, for those in Glendale)

She did indicate that for some reason, a lot of reports from the USA seem to have gotten lost in
the post.

I haven't listened since this morning. Got some small thunderstorms moving through the area.

I'm currently listening to Rush on WLS, getting my daily dose of 'hate'. ;-)

Drake R7, R8, R8A and R8B

I swear by, not at, Drake receivers.

And, as always, don't do business with The Huntington Investment Company.

Ace = well done, though you must have a closet full of those.
Is this a result of the first one not coming and you requesting a
second one?
The St. Helena mail gets transhipped in Cape Town and they are
notorious for losing mail

Yes, noticed others receiving one over the past few months so I asked if my report had
been received and it was not.

Heck, it'll be St. Helena Day again soon, and we can start the whole process over again!

According to the station mgr. many reports from USA seemed to have been lost.

You are such a moron.

"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.
