DXpedition Sponsorship
Sponsorship has been provided, for many years, by the GMDX Group to major DXpeditions. You can find out more about previous events here.

If you are planning a DXpedition, and seeking sponsorship, here are the ground rules. Please note that promotion of the DX Code of Conduct is now an essential requirement for sponsorship.

Linear Amplifier Switching
All GMDX Members receive the Group's quarterly Digest comprising articles about DXpeditions, Antennas, DX News and much more. The Autumn 2010 edition carries a feature about linear amplifier switching which is reproduced in full here.

Elecraft K3 review
Dave G4AON describes his experiences building and operating this digital radio. For more flexibility, see how to slave an external RX to the K3 using a simple passive splitter. More here.

GMDX Digest
The GMDX Digest is the quarterly journal of the GMDX Group. Sample copies are available (in PDF format) for on-line viewing and download. More here.
