DX'ing for fun.....

I'm enjoying this "new" radio I got a couple of days ago at my friend's garage sale. I still have my late uncle's old Hallicrafters shortwave radio, but the 4 shortwave bands on it are a lot more narrow than the "new" radio. It even marked key stations by location on the panel, although I'm sure they're obsolete by now.

( Listening to faraway stations was an old hobby of mine. More radio geekery behind the cut. )

So, what stations near you should I try to listen for? And has amateur radio been supplanted by the Internet?
