We found an old newsletter, from the period that our group became popular, because of the nice activations.
For those who have never seen/read it, have a look : IR – Newsletter Volume 1-97 Oct-Nov 1997

Message from irhqcouncil
Dear members,
We want first to thank you for your support during the changes that happened in the group.
We are happy to state that the IR-DX has been improving fast during the last couple of months.
New members and returning members, lots of activities, cluster.dk invasions … This is very positive !
Outstanding / late QSL problem seems to be solved and requests are taken care of quickly.
The Council is using email, whatsapp and phone to take decisions as fast as possible and, for example, activations authorisations can be given usually in 24 hours.
We wanted to thank everyone who is taking part to the HB20 event (chasers & activators).
There has been a few good ones on the air and more are coming.
It is still possible to join the event at anytime, you just need to contact 14IR017 Regis (14ir017@irdx.org). It’s never too late, because HB20 is until 31/12/2014.
The list of HB20 is already impressive :
You can take advantage of the coming “short skip” conditions to have fun with your
/HB20 suffix !
The Council will keep on working hard to meet our goals and satisfy all the members.
Do no hesitate to contact us if you have any ideas, requests, questions etc to this email address only : irhqcouncil@irdx.org
Best regards.
the VP council.

The QSL-manager of 79IR101 Seth, received latest information from Seth, that he and his family are in good condition after the deadly typhoon Hayan passed the Philippines last week and devastated mainly the east part.
The typhoon crossed the north part of Negros island.
On behalf of the entire IR-DX Group, we pass our condoleances to those who lost family members.
May they rest in Peace.

Membership benefit : NO CONTRIBUTION for our members
Taken from 1-2013 Newsletter :
Within last years the postage got higher and higher. Most DX-clubs put standard contribution to 2 US$. Now we want to show another way and present a real benefit to be a 100% member of International Radio DX Group. For all 100% International Radio members (originals) working an IR-DXpedition (0 or DX) or some special IOTA activations (described on our website), managed by IR-DX HQ QSL service, the contribution is free of charge. This is new rule is valid in 2013 and we hope to continue in 2014. A list of these QSL managers will be published soon. Original IR-DX member means that the DXpedition is worked with your International Radio callsign only.
