A lot of hams are not interested in DX, but did you know that some hams do not even know the meaning of the term "DX"? For the second straight year, I had a Field Day QSO that went something like this:
Him: CQ Field Day, CQ Field Day, this is W1XX, W1XX, over.
Me: W1XX this is OM3BD, OM3BD, how copy?
Him: AM3BD, I think, 59, 4 Alpha Connecticut, QSL?
Me: W1XX, roger, but you have my call wrong, it is Oscar Mike 3 Bravo Delta, you are 59, 1 Delta, DX.
Him: OM3BD? What is your section again?
Me: DX, Dog X-Ray.
Him: What state is that?
Me: No state, I'm DX, I'm in Europe.
Him: Sorry OM, this is an American contest.
Me: Yes, I know, but I can give you points.
Him: Well, I don't know about that, but 73.
73, Bill NZ5N/OM3BD
