Welcome to DX Guides
20 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 remain open for other radio-related content. News and Reports will continue to be regularly updated with anything likely to be relevant to the various guides, as will the pages for Longwave, DX Library and DX Memories. Other features will be added in future, so please drop by now and again to take a look!

Nothing to do with radio, but we had what is nowadays a rare occurrence of snow in Birmingham on 19 November 2024! This is a picture taken at my friend's house in Bournville, just a short distance from the famous Cadbury chocolate factory.
