About Us…
The NorthEast Wisconsin DX Association was established in 1993. From the initial twenty one founding members we now number over one hundred members with thirty two being “life” members, three of which are honorary “life” members. Twelve members are silent keys (sk) and will always be listed on our membership roster to show our respect for these amateurs. We have the FCC assigned amateur call sign W9DXA.
We have female and male members, some in their teen years. These young people are the future of amateur radio and their interest in the association indicates an interest in becoming quality operators and individuals who interact with other hams of all ages. They communicate in person and on the air. The social interaction within the association provides a knowledge base as well as an informal education for young amateur radio operators as they mingle with experienced hams and individuals with a common interest of contesting and/or Dx’ing.
Within our membership we presently have fifteen amateurs who have been licensed for a minimum of fifty years. That is “experience” to be tapped! We have members who have been on DX’peditions to many areas around the world. These amateur’s can provide information and advice for those interested in becoming involved in a DX’pedition or just wishing to hear about DX’peditions.
Prior to and after our short business meeting there is time to meet others and to discuss, learn and share with individuals with a like interest. When available, a DX program is provided after the business meeting.
NEWDXA donates funds annually (see home page) to support requests from hams around the world planning DX’peditions. We are not an organization with a large budget but the membership feels as a DX group we should support DX’ing around the world.
If you have an interest in contesting and/or Dx’ing we may be the organization for you. People of like interest with an interest in you! Join us - guests are welcome at our meetings.
