Hard-core-DX is going to vary quite a bit from place to place.  I have 
seen some MW logs on here from U.S. east coast DXers that would be 
nearly impossible here in the midwest U.S.  What may be hard core here 
in Minnesota may be an easy catch elsewhere.  If and when I post logs I 
will post what I consider hard core for my location.  I am primarily a 
tropical band dxer living in a suburban location.  Some of the South 
Americans I get are tough by my standards but not tough for someone in 
say Florida.
If this list tries to limit itself to R. Nibi Nibi at 1/10 of a watt 
and using a whip transmitter antenna the loggings will be few and far 
between.  I would like to see more of a Fine Tuning approach which is a 
bit more location oriented and deals with DX that while maybe not 
hardcore is tough for that area or rarely heard or heard at an unusual 
time of the day.

My 2 cents worth
