The quality of OO's varies. I once got an OO report for out of band operation when I was on something like 14,000.4 with a well-calibrated K3. When I contacted the OO and asked how he measured the frequency, he said he just tuned his receiver to 13,999.9, and he could hear me.

I would recommend anyone check out any OO report to see if it was legit, but after my 
experience with the "chirp" report I'll be skeptical until I hear the issue for 
myself.

Why would not an OO try to notify the operator on the air.... especially if 
there is some need for verification.  I would think that most operators would 
like to know and appreciate the help diagnosing any issues...

Is there some rule in the OO program that requires it to be  a sneak report?
