DXing began in an apple orchard near Murray, Ken- Maybetucky, hack in 1892. The beginnings of broadcasting are still debated, but there is evidence that the first human voice to travel through the ether was that of an unheralded.'backwoods experimenter some 80 years ago. And, if so, then the world's first DXer was his,friend, an attorney and ex -college president, a man with the improbable name of Rainey T. Wells. Hertz and Clerk -Maxwell had begun studying radio wave theory several decades earlier. Alexander Graham Bell was perfecting his device for wire communications-the telephone. But, working on his own in rural Kentucky, Nathan Bowman Stubblefield, an electrical tinkerer With only a high school education, had made a startling discovery, a way to transmit voices without wires. One day he felt ready to demonstrate his wireless vibrating telephone to his friend. Wells later described that first DX session this way: "Stubblefield had a shack about four feet square near his house, from which he took an ordinary telephone receiver, but entirely without wires. Handing me this, he asked me to walk some distance away and listen."

"I'd hardly reached my post, which happened to be in an apple orchard, when I heard, `Hello, Rainey,' come booming out of the receiver. I jumped a foot and said to myself, 'This fellow is fooling me. He has wires someplace.' " "So I moved to the side some 20 feel, but all the while he kept talking to me. I talked back and he answered me as plainly as you please. His voice sounded as much as a human voice sounds over a telephone today, but there were no wires!" Though the distance measured in yards, not thousands of miles, Wells must have experienced the same feelings DXers do today when they tune a station halfway around the globe. DXing, the hobby of listening to distant radio signals, has come a long way since then. Many thousands of persons around the world find it a fascinating pastime. Many of them prefer the frequencies between about 1600 and 30,000 kiloHertz (kHz) and are known as shortwave listeners, or SWL's. Others tune the standard AM medium wave band, the long waves below 540 kHz, or the FM, TV and utility communications channels above 30 MHz. There. are many reasons why a person becomes a DXer.
