Welcome to the first episode of the DX Central "From the Static" Podcast.  In this episode, after we do some basic introductions, we dive into our first DX101 segment.  This episode, we cover the basics of "What is DX?"

For those who are newer to the topic of DX, have you ever found yourself tuning around on an AM or FM radio and come across a signal you were not expecting?  Maybe it was from a station that identified itself and it was from a city far from your home?  Guess what, you just DXed!

Topics discussed include a very brief history of DX, some basic information on AM and FM DXing, how signals propagate, what to listen for and when to listen for it, some gear recommendations and play some actual DX audio samples so you get tune your ear for what to expect on the bands.
