List of DX-peditions

DX-peditions are planned events for amateur radio operators who travel to remote, rare, or difficult-to-access locations, primarily for making as many contacts as possible with radio enthusiasts around the world. These expeditions are a significant aspect of the amateur radio hobby and are particularly exciting for those looking to make contacts with locations that are difficult to access.{{Cite journal |last=Nevradakis |first=Michael |date=2013-01-01 |title=Disembodied Voices and Dislocated Signals: The World of Modern-Day DXing |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19376529.2013.777339 |journal=Journal of Radio & Audio Media |language=en |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=68–86 |doi=10.1080/19376529.2013.777339 |s2cid=145660812 |issn=1937-6529|url-access=subscription }}{{cite thesis |last=Elser |first=Fred |date=1981 |title=Amateur Radio -- An American Phenomenon |url=https://www.proquest.com/openview/e2620bc107a78ad5dbb264ddbdcee1b5/ |degree=PhD |chapter= |publisher=University of Hawaii |docket= |oclc= |access-date=2023-12-17}}
