DX television

Welcome to this new two-monthly column in which we will be covering the fascinating hobby of long-distance TV reception, or DX-TV, as it 1S universally known. The hobby IS in many ways analogous to short-wave listening where pleasure is derived from identifying distant sources of transmissions - the more elusive, the greater the satisfaction. Nowadays TV reception from other countries is taken for granted thanks to satellite technology, but it could come as a surprise to learn that TV signals have been crossing international frontiers for many decades.
