Utility / Re: WLO seeking reception reports

CMRadio;

Thank you for your recent reception report detailing a communication from the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) on ** 6925.1kHz ** at 0310z on 7 Jan 12.  While most of the details you provided are indeed accurate (including targeting information), we regret to inform you that we cannot at this time verify your report as is.  Our logs show that at this time we were actually engaged in traffic on ** 6925.2kHz **, using a homebrew "Fat Man" Grenade transmitter.

If you would care to amend and re-submit your report (please bypass the Pearl Harbor mail drop and send it to theempguys <at> gmail <dot> com) we will be more than happy to send you one of our "Turn the Key,  Press the Button!" REAL QSL cards.  They glow in the dark!

Normally, the divulgence of sensitive communications such as weapon targeting information would be a violation of the ECPA86.  But seriously!  Who's f00kin' who here!

73 and FFFR,

ET1 John "Big Mast" Calhoun
For the Chief Radio Officer

LL;

Many domestic utilities will willingly verify reports as long you do not divulge any sensitive comms, so it's definitely worth a try.  It helps to send your report to the attention of the Chief Engineer, and include signal reports on parallel frequencies if you can find them.

At the very least, you might get something even more precious (at least to me) than a QSL, that being a rejection letter!  I've only been able to get a handful of these over the years...

Right now at 0240 I can hear music, but it's almost impossible to decipher what exactly I'm hearing.
0243 Hearing harmonica
0246 Heard OM talk, not intelligible here
0253 Not sure if it's still there or not; no het heard
