Not so ironically, Liberals dont really hate anyone. They think its ok
to have your own opinion. However, It's a shame the extreme right
wingers such as Michael Savage dont feel the same way. What is the
liberal media coming to?

DX definition from Funk and Wagnall Encyclopedia = distance

So for SWLing it is the pursuit of listening for distant radio stations --
usually outside of ones own country.
See SWL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at URL:
http://ac6v.com/swl.htm#FAQ

Part of the pursuit is to record (log) the time, frequency, signal quality
and program content -- then send a report to the station heard in hopes of
receiving a card back confirming your report -- this is termed QSLing -- a
Ham radio term meaning -- acknowledge receipt. For SWL QSLing -- See URL:
http://ac6v.com/swl.htm#QSLF

In Ham radio DXing is a 2-way contact with a foreign station and QSLing is
sought after for various Awards.

For me DXing is looking for stations I have not heard before, and trying to
identify who they are. I also have a piece of foam board onto which is taped
a world map. I put a stick pin in the city where signals originate. So for
instance, Alice Springs in Australia has pin, and Brasilia in Brazil and so
on. For variety I use different colored pins. By now there is a forest of
them s. I never got interested in actually sending in reports to the
stations.
