Statement regarding New Rules and Guidelines

Posted on by

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.

73 & good DX de

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.

Is IR-DX the right choice for you ?

Posted on by

The International Radio DX Group (established in 1994) is not a free of charge radio group. You have to pay once a membership fee, to become a lifetime member of this group.
We are not looking for multi-multicall members (callsign collectors). What we expect, is people who really want to use the IR callsign and want to be involved in the group life.

Also, we are not interested in putting on the air silly activations or useless activations. We better do few, but good activations.

We are a familial radio group, mixing seasoned DXers with beginners …

The group has a lot of "Originals" members, who know each other for years and years and are fully devoted to keeping up the IRDX Spirit !
 

Le groupe International Radio (crée en 1994) n'est pas un groupe gratuit. Il faut payer une cotisation afin de devenir membre à vie du groupe.
Nous ne recherchons pas de nouveaux membres à n'importe quel prix mais nous attendons de nos membres qu'ils participent à la vie du groupe et qu'ils utilisent majoritairement leur indicatif IR.

Nous ne tenons pas non plus à activer tout et n'importe quoi juste pour faire parler de nous, nous préférons activer des choses quand cela vaut vraiment la peine.

Nous sommes un groupe familial, où se côtoient des DXers confirmés ainsi que des débutants. Nous avons parmi nous un grand nombre d'anciens, qui se connaissent parfois depuis des décennies et s'emploient à préserver l'esprit IR et à assurer sa continuité.
