SWLs » QSL card for SWL ? Jan 17, 2008 03:47 PM (Total replies: 23)

I think that those who want both stations mentioned in the QSL report are missing the point of reception reports. They seem to see QSL cards simply as a collecting activity.
A QSL is indicating that you are being heard, maybe in an unexpected location.
I don't see why both station details are needed in a QSO to confirm a QSL. The QSL indicates a reception report at a particular location even though the 'other' station may not be readable. The lack of reception of the 'other' station might be due to them having a lower power, poor antenna, wrong propogation direction etc, which is all irrelevant to the reception of your signal. The point is that my report is telling the main station that he is being heard at a certain RST at my QTH. The information I send to him is for him, not both stations.
To confirm that you did hear the station a short comment on the content of the qso should be given. I think that reporting RST is rather crude, a SINPO report would be more useful to access prorogation conditions so that degree and freq of fading can be indicated and QRN distinguished from QRM.
