Glad tha t my t%ps on YVMR and VOHF have been helpful to some of the fellows, as noted i n the i r reports. A cheery *Hellot to Charlie Conley, a fonner across-the-river neigh- bor. ' I was just a l i t t l e shaver i n those days, althoagh I did start DXing i n 1925 and s t i l l have my o ld logs of those days. Hope to see frequent reports fro= you in the bul le t in and note with pleasure tha t you are also an apoetle of the detai led personal report. I 've g e e f l y enjoyed a l l the coments i n recent issues on t h i s reporting and ver i f ic&tion problem. I t i s interest ing to note, however, that those members b~ho claim t o h v i what tho s ta t ions want can' t show any b e t t e r averages f o r reports veri- f i e d than those of u s who belisve tha t the prcblern i s peculiar to each individual sta- tion. Nobody yet has come forward with a report guaranteed to bring a 1 0 6 return of ver i f icat ions and, although I hate to d i s i l l u s ion aqyone, I doubt i f anpone ever w i l l . In reply to Steve r'albridge, mj reports are of the following pattern, although circum- stances of reception frequently cause consi9erable a l terat ions. I open with a c lear statement of when I heard the station, on w h a t frequency, type of program, and where I am located. Then I describe the i r signal dn de ta i l as to stength, readability, fading, s t a t i c , interference, quali ty, and modulation, and anything e l se I might note tha t would be of interest . I iescr ibe rrgr equipent : receiver, antenna, ground, and weather conditions. A request f o r ver i f icat ion i s made, and of fer as proof of my reception log which then follows, asking th&t it be checked against the s t a t ion log. In closing. I extend my best a ishes , hoping to hear them again, and close ;vith thanks f o r the i r agjticipated reply. I t ' s jubt a so l id report, nothing out of the ordinary, and I don't recornend i ts use because I can' t claim tha t it w i l l get you q more veries than you're get t ing now. I belive tha t reports ' to s ta t ions should have jus t about as much i n d i v i d G i t y a s the veries we expe'ct i n return. I don't want every vefie tamy col- lect ion to look a l ike , and I am sure tbat the broadcaster, too, appreciate variety i n the reports they receive which, i n most cases, project tho peasonality of tb reporter h~mself. I believe those who t ry to standardize reports a r e going off on the wrong tac?
