I just posted this to alt.politics
DX Radio is the hobby of listening to distant radio stations, typically from
locations well outside their intended coverage area. Sometimes the weakness
of the signal is the challenge, sometimes the amount of interference, and
other times the infrequent or irregular schedule of the station.
Typically most dx-ing is achieved on the Mediumwave Band (AM band) and the
shortwave Tropical Bands between 2 and 6 MHz. The higher shortwave bands 6
to 30 MHz are generally used for true international broadcasting.
