Introduction
Welcome to the Boston Area DXers (BADX), the Boston area chapter of NASWA. BADX is an association of shortwave, mediumwave, and longwave DXers, and shortwave radio listeners. Membership is open to all; NASWA membership is not required.
We are a group of Massachusetts and New Hampshire SWLs and DXers who meet informally once a month to talk about stations we have heard, shortwave listening, and DXing in general. Sometimes we have talks on particular topics by members or guests. Subjects we always want to discuss include receivers, antenna construction, Indonesian DXing, African DXing, international mediumwave DX, and QSL collecting. Most of the discussion centers on shortwave and mediumwave broadcasting stations. Past guests have included Jonathan Marks of Radio Netherlands, Rich McVicar formerly of HCJB DX Partyline, Chuck Roswell formerly of TransWorld Radio-Bonaire, Vasily Strelnikov formerly of Radio Moscow, and John Bryant - Editor of the Proceedings series of shortwave books.
Members have also gone on DXpeditions to locations in northern New England, Newfoundland, and the Pacific coast. Usually, however, we just meet to discuss current doings on shortwave and what we have heard.
BADX meetings are friendly, informal, and usually non-technical, with 10 - 15 people usually present. All are welcome, whether NASWA members or not, and we always welcome new participants. Whether you are new to the hobby or a long time listener, if you would like to talk with others about shortwave listening, this is a great way to do it. BADX also operates a closed e-mail list for its members. The purpose of the list is to facilitate the dissemination of local SWL and DX news and logs, discussion on SWL and DX topics, and information about BADX meetings and other club business. Between meetings, BADXers exchange messages and tips via this BADX e-mail reflector.
Meetings
BADX meets on the third Friday of the month at 7:30 p.m. We meet via Zoom or in person at Northeast Mfg Co. in Stoneham.?
