80IR/0

Posted on by

In the meantime HQ received a lot of inquiries about QSL and we have learnt that the postal service from and to South America is not the fastest one. Felipe ex 32IR001, XQ7IR (now 32AT111) former Vice President was responsible operator and QSL manager of 80IR/0. As you know Felipe and some other former VPs left the group in April 2024. It seems it was not important to him to care about the QSL management.

The Activation Control Board (ACB) of International Radio DX Group checked the proofs (video, photos, Instagram account “XQ7IR” of 80IR/0 and found out that the shack was located in a hotel named Hostal Inka Thaki, which is located in Colchane, Tarapacá in Chile. That means QTH was not in Bolivia.

Of course, we have asked Felipe about further proofs, but we have just received bad words from him.

We are very sorry for the community, unfortunately we haven´t found out earlier.

ACB and HQ of International Radio DX Group has to declare 80IR/0, dated from 14-20.04.2023 as not valid, just a fake.

Announcement of IRDX President Jimmy 13IR011

International Radio DX Group announces that Ken 47IR042, Felipe 32IR001 and Eduardo 12IR001, former Vice Presidents, are not members anymore. Their behaviour after resignation encouraged us to expel them from the group.

It is obvious that there is only one International Radio DX Group, even if they use their IR callsigns. If you, e.g. the webmasters of other websites need approve of authenticity of any IR-members, just drop a line to IR-DX headquarter.
