CADXA
Central Arizona DX Association

2025 was CADXA's 50th Anniversary year!!!
We are the largest ham radio DX club in Arizona with over 100 members, many of whom are on the ARRL's
DXCC Honor Roll and several members have traveled to distant places to activate rare countries with minimal or no amateur radio activity. We encourage any ham interested in DXing to join our club, learn about the many aspects of talking to hams around the globe and share this amazing hobby with us. Founded in 1974, we are an ARRL-affiliated club and a member club of the Amateur Radio Council of Arizona (ARCA).

WELCOME to the Central Arizona DX Association website! We appreciate your visit and encourage you to join us at our meetings or on Zoom. Click the Meetings tab at the top of the page for location, date and time.
The next meeting will be our annual BBQ picnic on Thursday, May 7th. Details were sent via email to all current CADXA members. The May meeting will NOT be held at the Scottsdale Senior Center.
The April CADXA general meeting featured an outstanding presentation by Sid, K5XI, about the station he has designed and built in southeastern Arizona. You can view his program on the club's YouTube channel .
There has been significant DXpedition activity in recent months with the activation of Bouvet Island by 3Y0K, Sable Island by CY0S, Bangladesh by S21WD, Djibouti by J51A, Lakshadweep Islands by AU7RS, and Desecheo Island by KP5/NP3VI. CADXA members have been able to add some or all of these entities as all time new ones for DXCC or as new band countries for the DX Challenge award.
Propagation on the HF bands has been on the downswing as expected with reduced sunspot numbers. Openings on 10 meters are less frequent and shorter in duration. The sun has not helped with recurring CME events that have wiped out DX propagation for several days at a time on the HF bands.
If you want to keep up on the latest DX activity, join CADXA and you can take advantage of what our members are working and posting on our Slack channel every day.

Brian, W7JET
