Folks, I gotta say, any time you get a response from a station these days and the "intent" is to verify your reception, you need to be grateful. I am certain that this was the intent by WIGG. The days of insisting upon a full data verification with date, time, frequency, power, etc., and an unambiguous "your reception is verified" statement or the like are gone. In a word, no, not all stations are aware of what constitutes what we DXers would categorize as a full data QSL. And I'm not about to try and launch an education program. Again, we are lucky to get the test and a snail-mail response to our reception reports at all.

Isn't this instead a "Verie?" On another note, aren't the stations that run these DX tests aware of "QSL" response?
