3TAD THIS! One of our mmberr sent us hire i n Brooklyn, an NRC'mekberis report t o Radio Station Bii9NT-1520, Kent, Ohio, on an NRC Report Form. This is exgctly what we mean by a very peor report , and one calculated to a l ienate many a radio s t a t ion against @J DXers. Using NRC Rspart Fonns anA/or stationery may rrake the p r sonne la t the s t a t ion f ee l t h a t the r;port t lsreon i s condoned by the NRC. I t most certainly i s NOT. Fre aaksd in a recent DX NEmS that NO membersend a report to a s ta t ion he would m t want t o see printed here in DX NEWS w i t h his name affixed t o i t , l e l l , we'@ going to withhold the nnae of t h i s mentsr, dct lve i n b t n aomestlc anb forel& aspects of DX - WIS IIiiE.

, H o q are probably all familiar with the NRC keport Tom. There i s an area in the fozm, 42 inches wide, l e f t f o r program d e t a i l . This NRC reporter used l e s s t b four typed l ines , , single-spamd, leaving four f u l l inches completely blanlt. There was mention of signal strength, o r b w the s ta t ion came in, except "Interference - none." We repmtuce the top pa r t of t he . fom & t h i s meniber' s report herewith: tlEadio Station V m Kent. Ohio Gentlemen: "I am pleased to report reception of your s t a t ion on March 16, 1966, from 6:28pm to 6:30pin, E.S.T. Time on 1520:kc/a..

If t h i s o r any other manber wishes to send t h i s type of report to any s ta t ion, he is hereby warned NOT to use NRC stationery, or report,forms, o r to mention he belongs to our NRC. Seedless to say, WgNT did NOT answer th i s report . What do you good members think of t h i s report? Please don't include it i n your kusing but perhaps you mignt want' to add a l i n e or two about your opinion of it next t i a e you send in a ::using.
