You know you're an AM DXer if:
- You take a trip to a tropical island and spend all your time  checking out
the radio dial.
- Propagation forecast means far more to you than the local weather
forecast.
- You tell your wife, when she sees a new radio in the shack, that  it's
been there for years.
- Your watch is set to UTC.
- Someone asks if you'd like a Beverage and you immediately think of a long
piece of wire.
- DX Bulletins and electronics magazines make up most of your bathroom
library.
- You and your wife took a cruise so you could visit the radio room.
- Your teenager doesn't invite friends over because you might be "listening
to static".
- You know the Latitude and Longitude of your home.
- You've stripped wire with your teeth.
- You've told your son "One day, this will all be yours", and he  doesn't
respond.
- The sales people at the local Radio Shack can't answer any of your
questions.
- You bought your wife a radio for her birthday because it has a synchronous
detector.
- You know the locations of all the expanded band stations but you can't
find your car keys.
- You've ever told your wife "not tonight dear, I have a DX test".
- You make suggestions like Aerial and Drake when picking names for the
baby.
- You've made an offer on a house, contingent on it passing ground
conductivity tests.
- You've ever told someone that electrical noise is not the same thing as
static.
- You have more friends in DX Clubs than in real life.
- You can hum the national anthems of at least 40 different countries.
- You know the call letters and frequency of every station in Alaska but you
can't remember you kids' birthdays.
- You can remember the frequencies, calls, dates, and times of all  upcoming
DX Tests, but you forget to pick up whatever it was your  wife said to get
on the way home from work.
- You spent more on your receiver than you did on your wife's wedding  ring.
- You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived.
- Oldies tunes remind you of stations you've heard instead of former girl
friends.
- You've ever told a real estate agent you want a lot 1000 feet long  and
fifty feet wide, pointed at Australia.
