| For those who don't know, DX (in amateur radio) is where you search for countries which have few HAM radio operators and are therefore rare to come across. So, to make it simple, you are looking for countries that either: a) have a very small population so have few operators; b) have a population who mostly cannot afford the relatively expensive equipment; c) have a government that limits or controls who has access to radio equipment (i.e. more totalitarian countries). In HAM Radio, all islands and many other forms of non-sovereign entities, such as the UN headquarters, or even sandbanks and coral reefs, are called countries. These have all been excluded from this quiz. You are only looking for the normal 195 sporcle countries (i.e. all UN members plus Taiwan, Kosovo and the Vatican City). The column 'overall rank' shows where these countries would come if all HAM radio countries were included. Enjoy! |
