In July this year, our Dx Adventure Radio Club (DA-RC) rejoiced it’s 15 year crystal anniversary in spectacular style; acknowledging with much fan-fare a decade and a half of exceptional DX achievements.
To commemorate this exceptionally special occasion for our Club, our members launched a month long Radio Sports event on the eleven meter band.
In addition to spreading the Delta-Alfa brand far and wide, the main purpose was to celebrate our great Club, and, its first 5479 days presence in the 11m DX landscape!
Well, the results are in for our 15 Year Happy Birthday celebrations and some outstanding scores have been noted in both the DX Hunter and Special Event Station categories respectively.
