Getting QSL Cards & Engineers Names
CLynch7,
What do you define as a QSL card?
I ask this as what I have done in the past in receiving reception reports from AM broadcast stations is simply mail a letter explaining I am an interested listener of the bands whose hobby is verifying on-air stations I've received. In the letter I state the equipment and antenna(s) used in reporting the signals and a brief description of the programing, times, frequency, and call letters. A self-addressed stamped envelope is included, of course. It hasn't failed yet that whoever the report is sent to will write "Confirmed" on the aforementioned manuscript and return it in the SASE usually with their name or initials on it.
If this is satisfactory for you, as it is for me, give it a try.
As previously mentioned by n5ims, getting a name of an engineer can be tricky. I'll usually look up the call letters of a station on the internet. If an engineer's name can't be found, try tracking down the name of a program director or some other person's title listed on the station's information page and addressing a lettter to him or her - they'll be glad to sign it for you or have someone else at the station do it for you.
Good luck,
