Philosophy

 
The IR-DX Group follows below philosophy :
The International Radio DX Group 11m Section is a family-oriented, liberal group of radio operators.

We are open for all serious DXers and respect all others.

Our hobby is DXing and our passion is finding friends around the world.

We want to be a modern, non profit group with visions for the future.

We just have a few guidelines to run the community.

 

IR-DX Group is an 11metres part of International Radio DX Club (Amateur Divison Radioclub) from Sidney – Australia, which was formed on 13th March 1994 by IR founder & club president Tommy 43IR001.

A lot has happend since its foundation in 1994 and we have survived many storms. We are still a fine Radio Group.

Keep The Spirit !

Back in 2004/2005 the responsible HQ wrote down the philosophy. It is a mixture of many collected ideas, which were important to define International Radio DX Group.

Family oriented means that all of our meetings, fielddays etc. should also be interesting and open for all partners of our members. We want to include all YLs that was the reason to found the YL-club.

Liberal can be defined in its best sense, regardless skin color, ethnicity or religion, etc..

Open for all serious DXers and we do not fight against other groups or operators.

We see DXing as our hobby and passion, we want to find friends around the world.

We don´t sell directories to make profit. That is why we publish our directory as pdf and give it free of charge to our members.

We don´t sell QSLs to make profit. That’s why we distribute standard and standard flag QSLs for selfcost-price to our members. Our members can print their own personalized QSLs. HQ can support our members with QSL layout.

It is our biggest passion to work and activate DXCCs and islands.

The contribution for IR/Ø and IR/DX activations is free of charge for our 100% original members. We don´t want to pay DXpeditions by contribution. We want to support our members. A way of life.

Whatever you find/read in our spirit, just remember that we mean it positive all the time.

Our membership is lifetime as long you do the free of charge renewal every year. We don´t ask for an annual renewal fee but every member can support voluntarily our DX Foundation.

All donations will go to IRDX Foundation. From this money we pay the expenses for domain and webhosting services of our website, sponsoring interesting DXpeditions, printing QSL cards, administration expenses.

Don´t ask what International Radio DX Group can do for you better ask what you can do for International Radio DX Group.

All officials must be originals and follow The Spirit.
