About Eastern Iowa DX Association

The Eastern Iowa DX Association welcomes all radio amateurs who have an interest in DXing or contesting. The club was founded in 1975 and is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

EIDXA publishes a quarterly newsletter, the Eastern Iowa DXer. Please feel free to take a look at it! In addition to the quarterly newsletter, the EIDXA also publishes a weekly DX bulletin, The Eastern Iowa DX Bulletin, available on this website. It is published every Friday. This bulletin is a compilation of currently active operations only, gleaned by permission from other DX bulletins. Email notification of new issues is available to members of the EIDXA via our email reflector.

Club meetings are held quarterly (in January, April, July and October) and are open to all. We also have a summer or fall picnic. Meeting dates and locations are usually posted a month in advance on the EIDXA Meetings page.

If you are interested in DXing or contesting, you are most welcome to attend our meetings. We have many friendly, outgoing members who would be delighted to meet you! We can help you get started in DXing or contesting, and most of us would be very happy to have you visit our radio shacks!
