The question is easy, but ..... the answer is extremely difficult! I do not know ... be the most appropriate response ...
But DX rate in 3 categories:
1 - DX in the DXCC and "hunt";
2 - DX in the QSO;
3 - DX in the "Outside Europe" ...
1 - DXCC is the acronym used for "DX Century Club. The Century Club is a diploma from the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) ... REP American ... upsssss!
This award is bestowed upon whom the request provided it meets certain criteria. In general steps to confirm the test is 100 different entities. Entidades 100 and not 100 countries and is commonly said.
Spain (EA), Balearic Islands (EA 6), Canary Islands (EA8) and Ceuta & Melilla (EA9) are 4 different entities, yet they are the same parents.
The DX practiced in this area is primarily in trying to contact as many different entities and that the contents of the "conversation" is not important and it lies in most cases be indicative of exchange and reporting. This type of contact is used in an attempt to work the majority of diplomas, as is the case of the IOTA (Diploma of the islands) among others, as well as to obtain national diplomas, as are the DCFP, DFP, DIP, among others DPRN .
In all of these practices the "hunt" in which the DX-cluster gives an impressive video which overcrowded warren of partridges
2 - Not all DXers interested in trying to contact as many different entities. Many like the BOM QSO where they talk a little of everything.
Usually also like to exchange QSL card but no interest in certificates and / or objectives of this type.
3 - It is very common among our DXers. But also there.
I are not the kinds of known "OD5NH" or "9K2MU, where some say there is a strange connection between these individuals and" North America ". I think they are more the type of DXers who likes to know the spread not through software, but by empirical knowledge, to know the potential of their season.
In this type of DX, if we can call it that, there are those who make specific calls, ie if the aim is to work all states (WAS award), they will not call general but specific calls to a specific part of the globe, this case to the USA and even call it by some states, because with a little luck until someone puts a spotzinho the DX-Cluster saying that CT1ZDL is in specific frequency to call for a certain U.S. state.
Thus, there DX for all tastes and there is no need to interfere in each other. If guy is calling for Japan, let him be that happy!!
If you would like to perform this same contact, happy to go 5 or 10 kilocycles and make some calls. With a little luck until he answered some station in the same DXCC that you both want to contact.
