Re: [HCDX] RSH - why bother listening - details available online
With due respect, I have to agree with Mr. Jari Savolainen about his way of
"hearing and confirming" stations heard when dxing.
Very frequently, I see postings from some folks at the reflectors where I
participate; colleagues posting three to ten stations at the same time, on
the same day and same hours. Then I figure these colleagues, file reception
reports and send them in the hope to get some more QSL cards to ad to their
collection.
Other colleagues for a change, uses a different approach. Many of them are
not even interested in getting qsl cards at all. These people are more
interested in first of all, listening to a good short wave station, the
program it airs, the current daily news without any commercial ads or
interruption, cultural affairs or music. Among them, there might some, that
listens to a few stations and they stick to them on a daily basis. In this
last category we must not forget, that there are folks, working as monitors
for these short wave stations.
There are also some friends that are constantly proving and testing the
proficiency of their radios and antennas as their main interest.
These groups, file complete and good (as it should always be) reception
reports,
sends qsl cars but not necessary waits for a response.
It is very important to mention that, many short wave stations around the
world are very aware of the various groups that exist; the cheating ones and
the honest and serious ones where I am sure Mr. Jari Savolainen falls.
A final analogy.
CB radio has been seriously affected in this part of the world; the other
day I turned on my old CB Radio just to hear for a while. There, I still
heard a few of the old and serious folks; fighting and struggling to do
things the right in order to preserve CB radio to the best. Let's do the
same for short wave radio.
