Dx'ing is a particular kind of Swl'ing (shortwave listening). It
involves the pursuit of hard to hear stations, whether they be
international program broadcasters, utility stations (data or voice) or
amateur radio transmissions. All Dx'ers are Swl'ers but the reverse is
not necessarily the case.

You don't think "distance" is the primary concept in DX?

Think about this: what do you do after you've heard a station from
fully half way around the world?

Sometimes DX is DX because it's rare, not necessarily because it's
distant. Don't take the acronym thing too seriously.
