     <h4 class="mt-4">What are "DX", "DE" and modes?</h4>
     <p>In amateur radio terminology, the "DX" contact is the "interesting" one that is using the frequency shown and looking for callers. They might be on a remote island or just in a local park, but either way it's interesting enough that someone has "spotted" them. The callsign listed under "DE" is the person who entered the spot of the "DX" operator. "Modes" are the type of communication they are using. For example you might see "CW" which is Morse Code, or voice "modes" like SSB or FM, or more exotic "data" modes which are used for computer-to-computer communication.</p>
