=F0  Hello, Bill --- "You have to hear before you can work 'em" was=20
pretty much true before the Internet.  However, over the Internet, one=20=

can listen remotely to a low-power DX station's signal on a receiver in=20=

or near his country.  Being heard by said DX station is then simply a=20
matter of running enough suds.  Even before the Internet, remote=20
receivers were being accessed through telephone lines during major DX=20
contests.  Rumour had it that the winner of some DX contest in the=20
early 1980s had a telephone bill for the month of over $3,000.
