This September marks the 40th anniversary of INDEXA, the International DX Association!
INDEXA was first incorporated in 1983. What originally started as an “on the air” DX net evolved first into a repository for donated equipment supplied to DXpeditions or deserving DX stations. QSL card printing was also provided. As vendors and manufacturers came on board donating/loaning equipment to DXpeditions, INDEXA further evolved into a fundraising organization that would pass along support to DXpeditions. These funds would help offset DXpedition expenses. Over these 40 years, INDEXA further evolved into what it is today; one of the largest DX funding organizations in the world with over 1,000 members worldwide.
For further information about INDEXA, please visit their website at <www.indexa.org>. Annual dues are only $20.00. I especially recommend watching the videos found under these tabs “INDEXA Overview,” “Humanitarian Fund” and “DXpedition Planning.”
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, INDEXA is announcing a special 10-day “on the air” activity called the “INDEXA QSO Party,” aka IQP, which is being organized by INDEXA board member Ralph Fedor, KØIR, for this coming September. Everyone is welcome to participate. His announcement follows:
