Welcome to DX Guides
24 November 2024
The DX Guides for shortwave and mediumwave can now be found on the website of the British DX Club at www.bdxc.org.uk (please refer to the Articles Index page). BDXC-UK is a well established organisation that has just celebrated both its 50th anniversary and the 600th edition of its monthly magazine "Communication" and certainly has a very healthy future ahead of it. The club's website already has a lot of useful information for DXers and radio enthusiasts, so it makes sense to place the DX Guides there as well where they are likely to get a lot more exposure. As always the guides will be free to download and anyone can participate in helping to keep them up-to-date.
This website will continue with other content, so please be sure to take a look now and again for anything new. The aim is to add something to this site every few days of one sort or another.
My thanks to Alan Roe for allowing his "Music on Shortwave" guide and very useful programme grids to be added. These now appear under the "Shortwave" tab. And thanks to Rihards Millers for being the inspiration in launching our Internet section, starting with the schedule for TRT Voice of Türkiye that Rihards has compiled. More schedules will be added very soon in this section.
And as I mentioned above, don't forget that the British DX Club have a lot of interesting and useful items on their website, so please visit www.bdxc.org.uk and take a look around. I have been a member since 1977 and edited the monthly magazine "Communication" between 1985-2005, so I have a strong affiliation with the club and can highly recommend what it has to offer.
Good listening, Tony
