[SFDXA] MESSAGES FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH - From QRZ

[Bill]

An interesting recently published article about DX'peditioning written 
for the non-ham general public adventurer. Some excerpts,

"DXpeditioning has existed in some form since the early 20th century. "

"...knowing how to distill that (congested channel) down to the one call 
sign quickly and get a contact confirmed and then move on to the next 
one—that is one of the big skills.”

“That’s a big thrill, and frankly, I think it’s one of the motivations 
that a lot of DXers would say is primary,” says Allphin. “They are 
tested to the limit in those pileups.”

“Amateur radio is pretty much the greatest hobby in the entire world,”
