Several IR-DX news related to the IR-DX HQ.

New IR-DX President elected

Posted on by

The vice-presidents of IR-DX Group elected a new president last weekend and agreed to appoint Jimmy 13IR011 ( mail : hq@irdx.de ).

We think he is the person to get the IR-DX Group right on track again and we will be more co-operating as a team to assist him in this hard job.

If you have not been in contact with our group for a long time, please contact us : headquarter@irdx.org .

We are still searching for a lot of members who were active in the past and like to update our records.

IR-HQ Announcement follow up

Posted on by

After a long internal discussion about what we need to do with it, the HQ team decided to dismiss our current IR-DX President from his function.

We will not explain all, as we do not like to throw with mud, but main reason for this difficult decision is the lack of good communication between the President and the HQ members for a long time already.

To keep the group alive, we needed to take this drastic step and we will continue to run the IR-DX Group as a team and not just by one person who is controlling everything.

Then consider to join the IR-DX Fieldday 2023 held in Switzerland during the weekend of 28, 29, 30 of July.

We like to invite you to visit the IR-DX Fieldday, where IR-DX members and non-members do meet eachother and spent a nice and relaxing weekend with or without radio and have some face to face chatting, enjoy the beautiful area and during the evening, BBQ-ing.
Last years fieldday was being held in Roth – Germany where many “old and new members” showed up again after absence of some years and had a great weekend together.

Please register before 21 July,
so we can calculate what we need to prepare.

 

How to Increase IRDX Member Activity ?

Posted on by

The number of active IRDX members tends to increase when there is a lot of activity on the 11m.

In the last few months I’ve been able to contact many of you, because I’m on the radio every day and I’ve finally been able to install a better antenna than the vertical one I had in place for 2 years, which is great and I realise that if IRDX members are more active on the air they also need to be more active on the internet.

The first and best way is to be registered on a cluster, there are several (11DX –Clusterdx–CRX–dx27–lf11) as the IRDX callsign is your main callsign, the best thing is to register with this one, but that’s not enough, you have to share with other users by sending spots.

The contacts you make, the frequency you are on, all this allows others to identify you easily and therefore allows you to make many radio contacts.

Another way is to have a Facebook account and a Facebook page (This link allows you to see my personal page).

I invite you to create your own and share as many images, sound, videos as possible for your favourite activity which is to make contacts with the whole world.

Facebook is not perfect, but it is a social network that is perfect for promoting radio activities, it is possible to share photos, videos, text, sound either on your wall or directly on your page.

As far as messaging is concerned, two are above the others, Whatsapp and Telegram and the international Radio DX Group is present on these two applications, if you wish to join one or the other of the groups set up, do not hesitate to contact me by email : 14ir001@irdx.org
