关于dx/dxing的意义，已经讨论了不少。虽然理解很难完全统一，但是通过各位高人、低手的积极讨论和引经据典，大家都肯定对这个词的意义有了进一步的理解。昨天，通过skype和加拿大火腿val聊天，趁机也请他就dx的意义作些解释。val是dx爱好者，也喜欢参加比赛，在各国使用过的呼号接近一打，现在的呼号是ve3vo。以下是我和他聊天的纪录，稍加整理编辑贴上来，供各位参考。当然，老外的言论也是一家之言，再说，虽然他喜欢比赛，也不时得奖，但没有听说他是加拿大第一，所以不能为准的。说实话，他的看法我只是部分赞同。不过，我十分赞同我们聊天最后的结论：不就是玩吗，心境开阔一些，寻找自己的乐趣吧。否则，又会有一小撮人跳出来说：上dx版的人缺少油墨感。

bd4aaq:

ve3lbq
hi michael
ve3lbq:
doing fine, staying at home recently
bd4aaq:
good. lots of qso's?
ve3lbq:
how are you?
bd4aaq:
i am fine, "business" as usual.
bd4aaq:
there have been some heated discussions on my favorite chinese ham forum, about the meaning of dx. as a veteran dxer and avid contestant, what's your take on the general meaning of the term dx or dxing?
ve3lbq:
don't have much possibilities to be active on my radio these days
bd4aaq:
that's a shame. but i suppose that means you have good business to take care of.
ve3lbq:
well it's long distance communications in general, but people mostly refer to rare countries.
ve3lbq:
so perhaps us europe conversations are not considered dx communications ...
bd4aaq:
good. that more or less fits how i understand it, but the confusion is if dx only refers to a foreign country, or if a distant station say in tibet also counts as a dx if i am in shanghai.
ve3lbq:
us china would be a dx though :-)
ve3lbq:
depends how rare it is i guess
ve3lbq:
if you hear tibet every day so it doesn't count as a dx anymore i guess
bd4aaq:
i see. so it depends on how rare or desirable the station is. thanks for clarifying this.
ve3lbq:
other people might think differently, that is what this hobby all about...
ve3lbq:
tolerance and education :-)
bd4aaq:
right. each reads his own meaning to each aspect of the hobby, and each takes his own pleasure from it.
ve3lbq:
fun for everybody...
ve3lbq:
is ham radio getting more active in china?
bd4aaq:
well, sort of, but the ham population is still small for the size of the country. it's growing slowly but steadily.
ve3lbq:
it should follow the economic growth, so we should expect to hear many by's in the future.....ok i got to go, need to drive to downtown.....talk to you later
