DX means long-distance radio communications. The definition of “long-distance” depends on the radio frequency band. Bill’s presentation will focus on HF DXing (160 through 10 meters). Many hams enjoy the challenge of working DX. With the increase in sunspots that we will see in the next few years and the advent of FT8, there will be more opportunities for making DX contacts. In his presentation, Bill will explain how to get involved in DXing on the HF bands.
