List of DX-peditions explained

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.[1] [2]
