[Elecraft] What is DX?

[Wes]

My personal take on this is in the third paragraph of my QRZ bio.  I'll add that 
I need just two entities to be on the top of the Honor Roll; the "should not be 
an entity" Mt. Athos and Glorioso. I doubt that I will work these in this lifetime.

I choose to work all my DX from "my" station but it's a very long time since I could claim that I built everything in my station and even then I didn't fabricate the bottles, resistors and capacitors.  Most of those came from equipment I had cannibalized.
