Hello
Here are ten points : how to recognize a hardcore DXer ...
He buys wire wholesale. A 1km drum of copperweld are just
cutoffs.
When the nearby airfield broadcasts : CAVOK , his antenna
top is still in the clouds.
He heeps a collection af worn out morsekeys...about a dozen.
QRO means a special contract with the local municipal
electricity supplier.
Friday night is neighbours day...youre welcome to pick up
about 10 kgs worth of filters and ferrites when you life in
the neighbourhood.
Alas , the neighbourhood means all within a 10 Km radius...
He is a big supplier of waste paper...mostly doubly received
QSL Cards.
As well as he is a good consumer of freshly printed ones...
By the ton.
He knows more of the location and commodities of such places
like "Bhutan" Irkutsk and else than the CIA or FBI.
His receiver is so sensitive that an electric shaver setoff
in a neighbouring state can drive him nuts.
And : To DX or not to DX that is NO question.
