The British DX Club (abbreviated to BDXC or BDXC-UK) is an association of radio hobbyists and enthusiasts, based in the United Kingdom. It caters for DXers and others with an interest in listening to the short wave, medium wave (AM), long wave and FM radio bands, and studying current and historical topics relating to radio broadcasting.
It was founded in 1974 as the Twickenham DX Club (after the London suburb where it was based), adopting the current name in 1979 to reflect what had become a national membership. As of late 2018, it had almost 500 members in the UK and abroad.
Publicationsedit
BDXC's main activity is the publication of the monthly magazineCommunication, which is registered with the British Library (ISSN 0958-2142). The magazine is edited by volunteers and its contents are based on contributions from club members. A typical edition of Communication includes news of broadcasting developments in the UK and around the world; station "loggings" on various wavebands; radio station transmitting schedules and programmes; and letters and articles of general interest on broadcasting topics.
Broadcasts in English is a twice-yearly guide to all known international broadcasts in English on short wave and medium wave, as well as selected domestic English-language broadcasts on short wave.
Radio Stations in the United Kingdom & Ireland (now in its 27th edition) has been published regularly since 1978.
