[HCDX] Computer DX logging

[John Wright <dxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

John Wright here, in Australia.
To all..computer DX logging....live streaming audio etc.....well thats 
nice that the person hears Radio New Zealand...however the issue was 
raised within Australia about 1997, as I did the QSLing for locally 2AM 
on 1620.  The QSL is a Q code for amateurs that was established many 
years ago, as a means of thankyou for your report on my signal and a 
kind of thankyou and momento of the occasion, these QSL cards were also 
known as audience cards. Listeners were encouraged in the early days of 
radio, of reporting thestrength etc.. of a signal, to which a thankyou 
card was sent out to the listner as a thankyou momento....this was by 
radio....
Computer is not radio..
however...when 2AM received this report, instead of throwing away the 
listners request for a QSL
the listner received a polite reply about what a QSL was all about, but 
no QSL card....but some information about  the radio DX or SWLing hobby 
was also sent to this person.
Its all about education.......and growing the hobby....
Maybe some other people have other ideas....
Regards John Wright  (Down under).
