I strongly agree with Mr. Bryant on this. DXing is a very individual
activity. Some people meticulously spend hours on a particular frequency. I
had a friend who was that way. He was incredibly thorough but he never ended
up with many stations.

That doesn't work for me. My attention span is too short to start with. If I
can ID a station in two minutes, then that leaves me a lot more time
available in that window to pull in even more stations.

Plus, there's nothing wrong with using another person's database to make an
ID easier. It's no different than using a digital display on a radio to find
out where you are on the dial. Some purists would rather dx by ear only, and
that's fine too.

Most importantly, though, DXing should be fun.

Yes, but Bryant is not actually ID'ing the stations. He's running down a list
(someone elses). That's OK, however since he has no real idea that that station
is actually using that frequency at that time and place, he can at best put a
tentative or presumed next to each log.

Simply following someones list is a good way to confuse things as that station
may or may not actually be the one he's hearing.

He's just guessing, hoping that the list is accurate.

He doesn't even know what country RTM-Sarawak is in, so he's certainly no dx'er.
