Powell, The comment you made about the CEs don't have the time. That may be true to a point. I don't doubt that they are busier than they used to be. But in many cases, they have time to talk to a DXer on the phone. In that period they could easily write verified on the report and mail it back in the SASE supplied. Some have even spent their own time and stations money to phone me back and chew the fat. I think in many cases, the engineers are not interested in the reports. They just don't care, but they will not tell you that as it is not good "PR". The engineer today, is not the engineer of the past. I know of stations that change engineers and the last engineer was very keen on responding to reports and the next one will not, even though they have the same number of stations to take care of. In both cases the CEs are active hams. They apparently have time to QSL their Ham rigs, but not the radio station.
