Hi. Not ;such DX to report , but I w i l l t ry to do my b i t to help f i l l these pwes. I have had t'ne "bug" a l l weekend, eo I didnt t DX t h i s Xkl. Eoweverr 5 protwrbly ?:ouldnl t - have heard anything anyway, a s we had thunderemwere, tF dauldn* b sleep SVl 4/10 & 1 b a r d WIVK w/c/w i n between W M S & WWL about 6:05~1m. I n a few nirrutes t%y ivere go= & RON0 was the only thing between WRaS & WWL. I s PIVK s t i l l on 8607 f noticed. i n V J they h d applied to swi tch to 850. Verie s i tua t ion haa been very disappointi,ng. A f t - e r , i n Jan., get t ing 22 veries back from 2i r e p r t s (85%) I have received only 18 ver- i e r fo r 29 reports (6&) i n February'. Uarch may be even worse witen f o r 23 as of 4/11. Among Feb. reports not m e r e d , only two (WQUA KcKW) were o / less than 20 minutes time (they were both t e s t s ) , & most of the rsports were 30 minutes. Others w'm didn't reply: WiS WKLO BRISK CHLO PCL3 KREO PTJH PAP0 XDNT. IQUA has verif ied f o r jus t about everyone e l s e & BCLS & CHLO reports were sent to l i s t e d v/s. Wet other8 were sd- dressed to CE. A t l e a s t some p m ~ r e s s has been made, as VSPD & KLCN now verify. I don' t pretend to have a solution, but naybe the f i r s t s tep woull be to f ind out PIRY a w r t i c u l a r s t a t i o n doesn't ver i fy & work from thare. T>a PP i l e a advanced by P. Kirk- patr ick would be OK i n the case of sonsistant non-verifiers, but then again care should be taken not to encourage s ta t ions who reply i n any o tner way to m e tnam. As f a r a s I m concerned,-PPs -ran1 t m y - s a r i s f a c t o r y . - I-aonlt l i ~ e to sen&- snor t rqmTtE, but .~

sometimes they're the best you can do. The trouble is, when you hear a l i t t l e b i t from & stat ion, $$$$w and don: t know that you ever w i l l hear t k e m again, should you report? What about s ta t ions which s/on & s/of f jus t before or a f t e r a loca l & you hear maybe two minutes? Varies: v/f- KDDA. v/c- V.'BIR (on 34 card) & v/q, KWHN.
