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.

It's called "irony"...

Mark.

The content of what I posted about the hobby of shortwave to alt.politics
has just as much to do with politics as many of the posts here have to do
with shortwave.

By the way, alt.politics is an excellent source for anyone who wants to
share and discuss their political views with others who are passionate about
their politics. (Hint, hint.)
