The true cost of dxpeditioning is not understood by most DXers and is not really a subject that normally receives a lot of attention for some unknown reason.

Unless you have been involved in some way with a dxpedition it is hard to understand sometimes what all the fuss is about. ·We encourage all DXers to look at the presentation at the link below to gain an understanding of this vital subject as the future of dxpeditioning to the rarer entities we all want may be in jeopardy.

Don·Greenbaum, N1DG, gave a presentation on "DXpedition's Funding and Costs" at Dayton Hamvention 2012 and is something·every DXer should see and should be shown at every DX association and·club. It will open your eyes. Don's excellent PowerPoint presentation·from Dayton is now available at the NCDXF's Web page at:

Please consider supporting that next Dxpedition you spend so much time trying to contact as the people involved need your support even more than you may need the contact.

Please also consider joining or supporting ODXG (or any of the other DX Clubs or Foundations) ·as this is also an excellent way of showing your support for DXpeditioning.

Commencing March 2012 ODXG will host a weekly net for members and interested amateurs.  The purpose of the net will be for amateurs to participate in informal discussion on DX, Dxpeditions, hints n tips, as well as developing friendships with like minded folk.  Initially it is envisaged the group will discuss the upcoming YJ0VK Dxpedition to Vanuatu.  All welcome - please check in.
