DXing

DXing is the hobby of seeking out long-distance radio signals, often from AM, FM, or shortwave stations. Enthusiasts, known as DXers, use specialized equipment like radios and antennas to tune in to broadcasts from far-off places, sometimes even across continents. The term "DX" comes from the telecommunications shorthand for "distance." DXing can involve logging the details of reception, exchanging confirmation cards with stations, and participating in contests or communities. It’s a way for people to connect with different cultures and enjoy the challenges of capturing elusive transmissions.
