New NADXC meeting location
NADXC meets the second Tuesday night of the month, at 6:30 p.m. at the Museum of Information Explosion at 1806 University Drive. We will also be on Zoom. Arrive around 6p.m. for social time. We must follow any restrictions by the Museum of Information Explosion as required. Please bring your mask and be prepared to social distance. Detailed information for the meeting will be sent via e-mail after the LongPath is published.
There are over 1,100 classic radios on display, as well as a ham shack. And, of course, the Flex 6600 and IC-9700 will be turned on and ready when you arrive. Our ham shack also includes a recreation of Heinrich Hertz’ 1892 – the first experiment of radiated signals, an operating spark transmitter, and a regen receiver from Clarence Tuska (co-founder of the ARRL in 1914).
2023 North Alabama DX Club Banquet has come and gone
The 2023 North Alabama DX Club (NADXC) Banquet Dinner was held in conjunction with the Huntsville Hamfest on Saturday evening, August 19th, at the Signals Museum of Information Explosion, 1806 University Drive NW, Huntsville, AL 35801. Thanks to all who attended and supported the banquet!
Our guest speaker was Ken Claerbout, K4ZW, 2023 CQ Contest Hall of Fame Inductee. Ken is not the typical contester or DXer. He won his fame bringing ham radio to the far-flung masses around the globe.

Due to lower ARRL fees we have been able to cut the QSL filing fee in half! NADXC provides ARRL Outgoing QSL card bundling for our members who are also ARRL members. Bring your QSL cards to any meeting. The fee for adding to the Club’s outgoing bundle is $2.00 per ounce (8-10 cards depending on how heavy they are). You must also provide proof of your current ARRL membership to submit with the cards. Please alphabetize your cards and find Stephen KY4G to submit the cards and payment.
