Re: [HCDX] Voice of America "Cannot Verify" Card

["Jari Savolainen" <jari.savolainen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This seems to be the way they work. If the frequency/time does not fit with the

official schedule then they "Cannot verify" the site. When the VOA Kuwait relay

came on the air, the QSL's were "Cannot verify" until the site was mentioned

in their frequency schedule. Maybe a follow-up report with an explaining letter helps.

USA, 1/20/2001 broadcast (via Delano?):  I listened to the Presidential
Inauguration and sent a report to VOA for 21735kHz from 1600-1720 UTC.  Today
I received a QSL card from them listing date, time, frequency, and "Cannot
verify"  written on the card !!!         Interesting since I logged them with
SINPO = 55555 on a Sony portable with a piece of wire hanging on the antenna!

Does VOA use a private contractor to handle QSLs?   If so, I assume the
contractor did not have this special broadcast on their list?
