Kind of in the ear of the beholder, but I would say SWLing is the pursuit of
listening to program material (of whatever genre) on the shortwave bands.
For example Folks born in other countries want info and perhaps music from
the homeland. A language student might listen to an SWL station in the
studied language to gain profiency.
DXing is the pusuit of hearing and logging distant stations for the sake of
garnering many different countries and stations and perhaps collecting QSL
cards from same.
However many listeners do both.
