NEW ZEALAND. 6170, RNZI, Rangitaiki, at 0730 UTC, in

very strongly this morning. Coming in like a local on
three different receivers - Sony ICF-2010, Eton E5, and
Grundig G3 - only using the bulit-in antenna rods on all
three. (Mike Bryant, Louisville, KY)

MWB here I thought that "DX" meant 'Distance'

Distance from Auckland NZ to Louisville KY
Distance is 13148 KiloMeters
-or- 8171 Miles
-or- 7100 Nautical Miles

roughly a 1/3 of the way around the world
sure do sound like 'dx' to me ~ RHF

Difficulty of reception factors into whether a log
is considered DX, RHF. Australia is even further
away, but I don't consider 9580 in the local
mornings to be true DX. It booms in like a local
station. Now, Australian broadcasts on 13630
or 11660 in the middle of the local afternoon are
considered DX, in my opinion.
