Designed by Kenneth Silverman, the valuable information contained in DX Holiday has been broken down into each of the Radio Society of Great Britain’s IOTA sub-groups, the contents of which have been collected from various Amateur Radio operators who have recently TX from these QTHs.

Details of ham-friendly or Rent-a-QTH accommodation, appropriate radio and antenna equipment for the area, transport to and from the QTH including across island travel, and more, is designed to facilitate DXpedition endeavours by acting as a medium for knowledge exchange-thus making the planned trip more profitable for the DX party and hassle free.
