[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 245262, member: 175144"] DXing is still carried out these days, radio amateurs all round the world are tweaking little denco coils on their hets, and playing with masts that really should have a few more guy lines on them. Whilst it is true that the long distance part is relevant to satellite reception, the use of parabolic dishes is frowned upon by a lot of the radio fraternity as a 'cheat' , and only dipole/yagi/periodics should be used. Radio amateurs also have access to the transmission side of the hobby, once they have passed an exam or two on the subject, (satellite viewers rarely get a chance to uplink), and one thing that has changed in many years is the loss of Morse code as a compulsory part of the examination (though many still use it). Earlier this year I did post a couple of links to the more interesting sites , but I cannot find it at the moment. [/QUOTE]
