The coziness of DXing
 
Maybe it's late at night. Maybe in the middle of the day with a cup
of tea. I'll catch a good DX station and hear something human: two
people talking or perhaps a radio host taking calls from listeners.
They could be talking politics or horror movies. I love listening to
radio. Will it last? There's nothing like a good radio and all the
entertainment available on the airwaves.

Hopefully, nighttime AM DXing will be around for a while (atleast, it
looks that way in Canada), if HD Radio/IBOC is not approved for
nighttime (HD Radio will fail, anyway). Sometimes, I also listen to
Internet Radio, while I look at porn.

It will last as long as you are willing to listen.

All you need now is your DX kitty sitting on your lap or laying on
your radio table for company.

I want a "DX Kitty" like Art Bell got himself! I think his kitty is
named Airyn. She could sit on my lap; I'd not even mind her laying on
my radio gear!

Darn XYL here won't let me have one! :(

Regards,
JS

Darn right! Internet "radio" doesn't do it for me... been fascinated with
the voice from far-off lands since I was a kid. (when you could still find
tube radios that people were throwing out!)

I recall a great bit by Johnny Carson years ago. He had Jane Fonda ( I
think) as a a guest who had brought along her cat which was sitting on
her lap.

Fonda said, "Do you want to play with my pussy?"
Carson said, "Sure, but first you'll have to get rid of your cat."

And somehow they got it past the censor---something like the Fugawi
indians.

Internet streaming audio and video have their place but that place is
not supplanting radio.

I agree. I love radio, especially HF Shortwave. I dont think I could ever
get trired of it. Some people try to say SW is dead, on it's way out, "it
aint what it used to be" etc. But, I can always find something to listen
to. I also love all the imperfections of listening. All the noise, hash and
pops, are music to my ears. Everything else we do now is all polished up,
DVD Video, CD quality audio, high definition, sat radio and on an on.
Shortwave signals are just plucked right of of thin air. That's the part I
love the most.

You nailed it for me too. Good job. It's hard to find something more
exotic than what I hear on short wave.

I grew up in the 1960's as a SWL, but now, SWL is dying, and there is
nothing of value left on SW - just a bunch of religious crap.
