  Hello, Bill --- "You have to hear before you can work 'em" was 
pretty much true before the Internet.  However, over the Internet, one 
can listen remotely to a low-power DX station's signal on a receiver in 
or near his country.  Being heard by said DX station is then simply a 
matter of running enough suds.  Even before the Internet, remote 
receivers were being accessed through telephone lines during major DX 
contests.  Rumour had it that the winner of some DX contest in the 
early 1980s had a telephone bill for the month of over $3,000.

  But only while transmitting -- except when listening over the 
Internet, of course.
