To me DX’ing was like fishing. Nothing like getting that rare catch when atmospheric conditions were just right.

I used to have a Sony digital receiver. I used the 5-foot (really) whip antenna from my ‘63 Chrysler Newport and listened in my car. My best catches were Kol Israel and Radio South Africa from my fave listening spot in Spokane, WA.

I lived in Mongolia for two years in the early 90s and got to be on the OTHER side of the pileups...sorting through all the calls. Wow, what an experience. I was fairly new to the hobby then. Went on a few dxpeditions. Nothing like broadcasting once and getting calls from four continents in the same hour. Worked quite a few stateside.

The other ops enjoyed seeing me key at the minimal speeds while they were smoking, drinking, working pileups at 70-80 wpm (or however fast they went) and carrying on their conversations in the room. I stuck to SSB.

I haven't kept up at all unfortunately with the internet and all.
