Logging a Station

Wwe recently devoted an article on the definition of the DX Club. Apropos of this, a correspondent

— ° writes asking the following questions: 1. Would one need to have a card from the various YA stations in order to verify them? A.: -No, verification cards are not necessary for such stations as these. It is only in the case of the more distant stations where there is an element of- doubt. Bven the main Australian stations, which can be relied upon to come in at good strength, need not be verified. Verifications, however, are required from the smaller New Zealand stations, the small Australians, Japanese, and American stations. 2. How could one verify by card the foreign stations, especially those of Japan. One can be hardly expected to identify the items from these stations. A.: We would suggest that you listen in, and note down the type of item

coming over, e.g., vocal solo, instrumental, choral, etc. Note particularly the time, and convert this to Greenwich mean time. This is easily accomplish. ed by our DX clock. .
