DX simply translates into "Distance". In the old, telephone days, it meant "distant exchange".

For those of us in the US, working DX generally means making contacts with stations outside of the country, and with a fairly long distance involved, such as Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, etc.

DX is what you want it to be though, unless you're working on an award, in which case the awarding body will determine the question.
