[Dx-qsl] Cluster-Spot SWLing

[DE1DXX at aol.com]

Hi to all,
 
I'm an SWL. Ron's methode is very good. But, in the case of hardcore DX, it  
is some-
times not possible to get 3 contacts followed each other (even this is my  
preferred method).
If I hear a station with only 4 by 3 or  3 by 3 (and I write this on  my 
SWL-card - best to give true RS reports!), it isn't possible. BUT: 2 or  better 3 
contacts should occur on a SWL-report in at least in 30 min - of course  not 
appearing in the cluster ...
 
There will always be black sheeps. Not only in SWLing. And: What is a  
QSL-card worth
for myself, if I didn't had heard the station? I like that fight of  hardcore 
DXing.... :-))
 
just my 2 cent

This  happens a lot. I have listed the following in qrz.com:
"SWL cards should  have the call before or after the call you are asking 
to confirm "  otherwise, no confirmation.
