DX stands for a distant and unknown station. Distance does not mean
anything on the internet and listening to an audio stream seems to me
much more like a telephone call rather than a challenge.

If the station is willing to send "QSLs" as a kind of PR, that's fine.

I'm not interested in such confirmations, but if other listeners have
fun collecting them - alright. It's a hobby and we should try to
covince those listeners that shortwave has it's own quality.

My 2 ct.
