DX Humor: A Tradition of Bad Jokes

There is a long rich tradition of humor in DXing, and we here at BLANDX are proud to be a part of it. (Making bad and frequently tasteless jokes is one of the few things we are proficient at.)

Over the next several months, we hope to make all the past issues of BLANDX available for download here. There are also plans to add DX humor from other sources, such as columns by Charlie Loudenboomer and Dr. DX, as well as copies of the occasional humorous articles and cartoons that have appeared in DX publications over the years. An audio section will include recordings of Radio BLANDX, a pirate radio station from the early 1990s that was inspired by (but not connected with) the annual BLANDX magazine.

For now, here is the start of the BLANDX Historical DX Humor archive:

BLANDX #1 - The Original 1981 Edition (Just added)

BLANDX #4 - The 1989 Edition (Just added)

BLANDX #5 - The 1990 Edition

The Silly Dili Headband - I can't remember who made this, but it dates back to the early or mid 1990s.
