Carolina DX Foundation Launched
One
of the premier DX organizations in the southeast has established a new
foundation to help provide financial support for DXpeditions.
The Carolina DX Association
recently established the Carolina DX Foundation, a separate entity with its own
officers, to collect tax-deductible donations and then make donations in
support of DXpedition efforts. The group is starting out with $15,000 in seed
money earned from selling a collection of radios donated by Frank Dowd, K4BVQ.
According to a report on the Southgate Amateur Radio Club's news page, the
goals of the foundation include "the furtherance of scientific research
exploring electromagnetic wave propagation in the high frequency domain, and
education through public presentations by DXpeditions supported by the
CDXF." For more information, or to make a donation, contact
Secretary-Treasurer Cliff Wagoner, W3ZL, at PO Box 577, Davidson, NC 28036 or
