How do waivers work?

[Willis]

I just called D* and asked to add 385 CW to my distant locals. The CSR said I needed a waiver, could take 45 days... Then he asked if I had a working roof mounedt antenna, then asked why I received Distants..told him due to mountains I am unable to recieve signal.. are these normal questions when applying for a waiver?

Called back today, CSR said even though the D* website said I was Eligible for the Distant CW, I still needed a waiver, I knew this was wrong....so I called back again, got a nice lady who checked my address and had the CW turned on in under 5 minutes. strange!

Not so strange. Sometimes you have to play csr roulette to get what you need!
