Welcome to the Western Kentucky DX Association
website!
The Western Kentucky DX Association is an amateur
radio club in Bowling Green, Kentucky, dedicated to the pursuit of
excellence in working other amateurs all over the world. The club
was founded in the early 1980’s. Since that time the members have
worked many DX stations during contests and regular day-to-day
operations.
Specialized interests among club members include:
operating QRP; making contacts via satellite; collecting grid
squares (by six meters and satellites); constructing antennas; kit
building; passing out contacts for those needing Kentucky while
working toward WAS; operating different modes; conducting VE testing
sessions; preparing for emergencies; and of course just having fun
rag chewing.
Since its creation, the club has had several
different special activities:
- Awarding a colorful certificate to any DX
station that submits a log showing they worked three of our
members.
- Supporting a special event station for
admirers of the Corvette sports car made only in Bowling Green.
Each year Bowling Green hosts a Corvette Homecoming during which
hundreds of Corvette owners visit our city.
- Setting up for Field Day each year and
operating QRP (CW and SSB). National rankings as high as 4th in
our category have been achieved.
Thanks for checking out our club, 73.
