You know I,m getting to believe people just do not have the patience anymore to sit and dig signals out or camp out on a freq. and see what happens or just tune looking for sh-t! am I wrong? Marcy

No, you are not wrong. I have not been doing it recently myself. But, I can't count the hours that I did spend over the 35+ years I've been in the hobby trying to catch an elusive DX station. It is becoming a lost art.

Not yet, not as long as there are people like us around. There are less of us, but we're not gone yet. (y) One thing about radio, when the weather turns colder, I'm in front of the dials more.

It's still very active as the Utility DXers Forum on the groups.io server. Very little junk and they even have their own website

Internet Relay Chat - it's been a while since I've heard that!

Next thing you know, we'll be discussing this on rec.radio.shortwave. :ROFLMAO: I miss the internet of old. First logged on circa 1993-94 in college and spent a lot of time in the rec.radio Usenet groups.
