Heart Of Texas DX Society
Where are we? What do we do? Who are we?
Heart Of Texas: This is defined as the surrounding area, with its central location being McLennan County and the City of Waco, Texas. DX: A term used all over the world of amateur radio to describe a radio contact with another amateur radio station outside its own country. Society: A section of a community that is distinguished by particular qualities; in this case, an organized group of people who share an interest in DXing and contesting while at the same time supporting other interests of its members. The club's name was chosen to precisely locate us as being totally separate from any other point on the Texas map. It is our desire to focus on individuals living in or near the Waco area so as to make it easier for them to participate in club activities and to get to know each member on a more personal level. HOTDXS, moreover, promotes amateur radio through group activities. These include, at times, when band conditions permit, a SSB net on the second Tuesday of the month at 8:00 p.m. local time on 28.437 MHz, the occasional creation of Special Event Station operations to commemorate the anniversaries of local historical events, and the sponsoring of local awards and certificates to encourage participation in some of the more popular HF contests. Besides on-the-air activities, HOTDXS will occasionally hold meetings to provide opportunities to discuss DXing and other related topics as well as to establish a forum for subjects of interest or concern. Amateur radio operators and others will meet at one of the nearby restaurants. For location, date, time, and information, please check this link [ Special Announcements ] to see the latest posting. The first goal is to have the Heart Of Texas DX Society - W5DXS, earn the DXCC Award and the WAS Award, as well helping our club members achieve these awards. Any interested parties and licensed amateur radio operators are welcome to join HOTDXS. As long as you demonstrate interest by actively supporting the club's activities, there is no membership fee. An annual membership renewal is required. You can submit a new or renewal membership request via postal mail or by email. If you have a radio operator's callsign and are a member of ARRL, please include this in your membership request.
