Sorry for any confusion. All reports for the Montana DX Tests go directly to me. No reports should be sent to the stations. I would prefer to receive recordings rather than written reports for several reasons: 1. Easier and faster to verify. 2. Usually stations love to "hear" what they sound like at great distances. This makes it easy to share them with the staff. E-mail is always easier and faster for me. Postal reports and replies are expensive, labor intensive, and time consuming. If you must submit a Postal report, especially for the Montana DX tests, then the following rules will apply: A. SASE must be included. Not stamps, dollar bills, etc. Self Addressed stamped envelopes. Period. B. Recordings will be answered first. Best method is a CD, second choice is a cassette that is "cued" to the point of best reception. I don't have time to listen to 120 minutes of your DX. C. Written reports only will be answered last. They take forever to check against logs and accurately verify. Usually I have to "create" a log from a variety of sources. Time consuming. D. Do not report via both e-mail and Postal mail. Don't have time to waste answering both. If you have e-mail then use it. Hope this clears things up. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF NRC/IRCA Broadcast Test Coordinator Please call anytime 24/7 if your transmitter will be off the air for maintenance.
