RE: [HCDX] Is Computer Logging DX?
Dear DX-friends,
This subject was discussed three years ago at the Conference of the
European DX Council in Barcelona and there was general agreement
that "WEB LISTENING" cannot be regarded as "DX-ING". It is another
hobby which just requires that you know certain web addresses. The
stations are no more distant than your PC.
