I always kid with the DX Association people As most of the time if I have a table for AMSAT at a hamfest I am located nearby. I ask them how far they have talked - Max being Halfway around the world. I said I made a contact with Fairlawn, NJ (about 12 airmiles from me but 39,000kms up and 39,000kms back down on AO-40..Hi, Hi! They always look puzzled and so do the closeby "Listener's!
