Sir-In reply to the letter by " Bored" published by you in your issue of March 21, I believe that I am speaking for all the members of the New Zealand DX Club, and of the New Zealand DX Radio Association, when I say that his statement is absolutely incorrect. Perhaps people like " Bored" who are incapable of appreciating the great pleasure, fellowship, etc., of " Real DX-ing," may think that DX is useless and absurd, but anybody who has DxX-ed or listened to some outlandish station (and there are plenty of them), cannot but experience a thrill. I have been a DX-er now for six years, and can honestly say that I can still hear new stations and new countries practically every night. If "Bored" would spend an evening with any ardent DX-er located near him I am sure that he would change his tune. If he is willing to co-operate, I will gladly pay his subscription for the New Zealand DX-ers Association, and after he comes in contact with other Club members he will change his mind. I am hoping to receive a letter from " Bored." Yours, etc.,
L. W.
