Good book. DX Elmer in a binder. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I picked up DXing 101x HF at a hamfest and really appreciate its encyclopedic coverage of DXing. DXing 101x confirms the advice that I have been offered by those who have Elmered me in the past. It's great to have all of this knowledge in print and in one place.

The DXer's Manual Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Very informative and well written.
A good source of "how to" for the new
DXer and good review for the old.

Outstanding Resource for DXing - a true MUST have! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
AC6V's book is a wealth of information that is presented in a clear, concise format that makes it not only a great reference, but a good read as well. I keep this on the shelf at the operating position, and refer to it regurly. I have personally recommended this book to several hams who have purchased it and are glad they did.

Improved Version with 6M Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
AC6V has improved his already excellent DX'ing reference. Its now available with an additional chapter covering issues specific with working DX on 6-meters.

The book now has a new title "DX-101x HF + Six Meters DXing. Content in this book is apparently the same as in the original title, with the exception of the additional 6-meter info. A useful addition to his book.

As with the other reviewers, I have found this book to be a great reference and source of information in my shack.

Thumbs Up! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I enjoyed reading this book. Very helpful to me as an experienced ham who had not been on HF for many years.

Lots of things had changed since I'd last "chased DX" and Rod's book helped bring me up to date.

An extensive compendium Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had picked up a copy of FM101x and was quite impressed (I had planned to use it for a followup class for new hams). So I took a look at DX101x too. Wow, it is great! So much info. And lots of stuff I didn't know even tho I have over 200 countries. This book is definitely worth it, right up there with The COmplete DXer.

A great book very well researched & packed with DX secrets Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I found it very educational on the subject of HFDX-ing. In fact is was like having your own Elmer in the shack. I have built up a good libary of books over 25 years of "hamming" & I can recomend AC6V`s book DXing 101X as the Definitive guide. Each chapter is very well laid out in a easy to read format. His writing style is great as it is not bogged down with waffle & padding. Its the facts the real facts & nothing but the facts. As I told Rod, I am sure with the advice found in his book I an sure it will be my "Passport to DXCC Honour Roll" 73 de Glyn GW0ANA

It's like, DXing for Dummies Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Best book for DXing for newbies or perhaps anyone. I'm sure even the seasoned pro could glean stuff from here. It's a must have for people like me who know nothing. Well I know something now. This book is layed out logically and is an easy read. I even chuckled a few times. His sense of humor it perfectly timed. But mostly it's so handy and I keep refering too it daily while DXing. It's got usefull tricks to DXing and tips on equipment and procedures. Really enjoyed his DXing secrets. IMHO, probably the most important thing is the frequency listings and their uses. I'm hoping that will help standardize things as far as where the DX is. But I'm amazed how knowledgable AC6V is on this subject. I've got tabs pasted all over it for quick refrence and it is right next to me in the ham shack. . . usually opened to something like frequency list or the "Q" codes. Tons of stuff in there like that. I'm VERY glad I bought this one and I don't buy many "how to" books.

Great Book Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This book is a must for new DXers and DX veterans alike. The chapter on DX secrets is an invaluable resource because nobody knows every "trick of trade".
