Calling All DX Enthusiasts: Join the DX HOGS (KZ5DX)!

Attention ham radio operators in Mississippi with a passion for DXing! The DX HOGS (KZ5DX), an ARRL-affiliated club since 2013, welcomes you to join their dedicated community. Whether you're a seasoned DXer chasing rare contacts or a curious newcomer eager to explore the far corners of the world via ham radio, the DX HOGS offer a focused environment and experienced members to help you reach new communication horizons.

Unite with Fellow DX Enthusiasts:

The DX HOGS cater to a specific segment of the ham radio community with a strong emphasis on DXing:

• DXing Expeditions: The club might organize or participate in DXpeditions, temporary deployments to rare or exotic locations to make unique contacts.
• General Interest Discussions: While DXing is the core focus, there's always room for broader ham radio discussions at potential club meetings (details about meeting times and locations are currently unavailable on the ARRL website).

Sharpen Your DXing Skills:

The DX HOGS offer resources to help you excel in making long-distance ham radio contacts:

• Mentor Programs: Benefit from the experience and guidance of established DXers (like Glenn E. Lowery K2FF) who can answer your questions, share propagation tips, recommend antennas and operating strategies, and provide valuable feedback on your DXing efforts.

A Close-Knit Club of Passionate Hams:

• Limited Membership: With only 10 members, the DX HOGS likely foster a close-knit environment where everyone can contribute and share their DXing experiences.
• Active Leadership: The club webpage lists a full roster of officers including President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, and Editor, suggesting a well-organized and potentially active club.
