DX liseners are focused not so much on content as on knowing when

signal reaches DXers.


DX listening is not necessarily done by DXers. DXers provided the
engineering departments with valuable feedback (and the occasional ego
boost). DX listeners are people who are forced to listen to
out-of-market stations because nothing local suits them.
