| Co to jest łączność DX? |
| Za wikipedią: "Amateur radio DX Main article: Amateur radio Amateur radio operators who specialize in making two way radio contact with other amateurs in distant countries are also referred to as "DXers". On the HF (also known as shortwave) amateur bands, DX stations are those in foreign countries. On the VHF/UHF amateur bands, DX stations can be within the same country or continent, since making a long-distance VHF contact, without the help of a satellite, can be very difficult. DXers collect QSL cards as proof of contact and can earn special certificates and awards from amateur radio organizations.[6] In addition, many clubs offer awards for communicating with a certain number of DX stations. For example, the ARRL offers the DX Century Club award, or DXCC. The basic certificate is awarded for working and confirming at least 100 entities on the ARRL DXCC List. [7] For award purposes, other areas than just political countries can be classified as "DX countries". For example, the French protectorate of Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean is counted as a DX country, even though it is a region of France. The rules for determining what is a DX country can be quite complex and to avoid potential confusion, radio amateurs often use the term entity instead of country. In addition to entities, some awards are based on island groups in the world's oceans. On the VHF/UHF bands, many radio amateurs pursue awards based on Maidenhead grid locators. In order to give other amateurs a chance to confirm contacts at new or exotic locations, amateurs have mounted DXpeditions to countries or regions that have no permanent base of amateur radio operators. [6] There are also frequent contests where radio amateurs operate their stations on certain dates for a fixed period of time to try to communicate with as many DX stations as possible." Nie ma ściśle określonej definicji co to jest DX, wytłuściłem i podkreśliłem to w cytacie z wiki powyżej. Mnie uczono, że jest to skrót od Distance X czyli odległość nieokreślona. Chwała koledze w dążności do wiedzy i chęci bycia jak najlepszym, ale uporczywe poszukiwanie ścisłej definicji skrótu DX jest dzieleniem włosa na czworo i prowadzi na manowce. Życzę szybkiego uruchomienia się z czegoś więcej niż tylko ręczniaka, obojętnie czy to będą KF-y czy UKF-y. |
