I don't see any harm in doing this as long as you are honest about doing it,
as Henrik is. It depends what you want out of the hobby. Some people,
including a well-known gentleman down under, insist that DXing is a
technical hobby and that comments on programmes etc. have no place in it.
But for many people, the technical part was always a means to an end - i.e.
receiving audio from as many different broadcasters as possible. I'm sure
the small Latin American broadcasters who stream on the Web are as delighted
to get letters from Internet listeners abroad as they are to get reception
reports on their radio signals. Potential advertisers will be impressed
either way :-)
