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.

Statement regarding New Rules and Guidelines

Statement of IRDX President Jimmy 13IR011

I would like to thank all involved members for acceptance and support to stop the destruction of IRDX Group. The here published “17 rules” are deleted, because most of them are not conform with IRDX philosophy, what we call “The Spirit.”

Philosophy of IR-DX Group (The Spirit)
The International Radio DX-Group 11m Section
is a family friendly, liberal group of radio operators.
We are open for everybody 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 ideas for the future.

We just have a few rules to run the community.

For all IR-DX members, who want to have more rules and strict regulations, we can recommend other DX groups!

We want to stay a non-profit group and we don´t want to force our members to pay a fee every year nor for zero unit-numbers, but we are always open to receive any voluntary amount if you want to support us.

At the moment we don´t see any reason to change anything from the philosophy.

On this point we want to say thank you to Felipe 32IR001, Eduardo 12IR001 and Ken 47IR042 for their work as Vice Presidents, Coordinators/Directors etc. They all give back all their positions voluntary and make the way free for new characters.
At the moment the HQ Team is established as follows:

Rob 19IR04 VP, 13IR102 Lars VP, 15IR076 Chris VP,
Kati 13YL747 HQ Secretary
Jimmy 13IR011 President

Besides IRDX group announces the new Senior Vice Presidents Board:
Daniel 13IR074, Bert 13IR101 (former Vice President), Adrian 15IR106 (former President)

For the future we are looking for original members with spirit who want to be involved with any position in IRDX group. Feel free to contact HQ Team.

Soon we will publish more information about new structures in IRDX group.

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

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.

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
