A Montana station is famous for its note of verification printed on a thin sheet of rolled copper - the station being located in the heart of a copper -mining district. Others send badges or some varticular notation of the principal product of their region. Many stations verify with an ordinary letter. It is the verification that is the basis of the DX hobby. These cards are called verifications, as is any answer returned to the DXer by a station verifying that the listener has really heard and logged that station. To obtain more reports the station owners often print beautiful cards with the station's call letters embossed thereon and send these cards to listeners who write to the station and describe how well their signals were heard in that particular part of the world. To this day they turn the dials and listen for some other far away voice saying: "You are listening to XGRS, Shanghai!" Engineers of radio stations throughout the world often wonder how well their signals are being received and welcome letters from all over the world. Many of you can remember the old clays when it was a thrill to twist the dials and hear that far away voice out on the Pacific Coast say: "This is KFT, Los Angeles!" What a thrill that was and the original members of our fraternity have never escaped the DX bug.
