It also might be a good idea to do this when mentioning QTH (location, for

OK - when you say "verie" that means? I always thought that what I
sent to stations was called a verification report and then they in
turn send a qsl card or letter. Correct? No? FWIW my location is
Cincinnati,Oh.

Among MW DXers, one sends a reception report and receives a verification or
confirmation of reception from the station.

Station staffs seldom know the "Q" codes, and most would have no idea what a
"QSL" card is. Since most stations have contract engineers, not staff
engineers, its likely that a verification would come from someone in the
office... the manager, PD, office manager, etc., and they probably don't
know much about DXing in general... including the term "DXing."

Among themselves, AM DXers have called any confirmation of reception a
"verie" for the last 60 or 70 years. But at the station level, this term is
as unknown as QSL or QTH or DX.

For these reasons, reporting to anything except the big 50 kw clear channel
stations should use lay terms to the tone of "I heard your station... here
is what I heard... If this is correct, I'd value a verification from you
that I indeed heard your station."

From where I sit, our local AM, a 50 kw fulltime facility, only gets maybe 2
to 3 reception reports a year. Because our DOE is a ham, he knows what to do
with them. But many stations are not familiar with AM DXing any more. In
fact, some think that distant reception shows them operating outside
licensed values, and reports frighten them!

Heck, faux Hispanics such as yourself probably frighten them even more.

My post contains a lot more useful DX information than anything you have
posted lately, which seems to be links to lists that you did not prepare
yourself. You brain must be frozen in that horrible part of Michigan.

Why do you even bother responding to the trolls? Just filter them out and
forget about them.

'Eduardo', you wouldn't know "useful DX information" if it crawled up your lying
ass and decided to spend the winter.
