[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

Allow me to clarify something from below - You can very easily pay your dues
on line when you renew. If you don't want to renew on-line you can mail a
check to Glenn, N5RN, as his QRZ.com address.

Greetings ADXA Folks,

 

Welcome to 2024 and happy new year! With the new year comes my
responsibility to remind you that your 2024 ADXA dues are due!. Some of you
have already paid during the past two months of 2023 so you are good, but
for the rest of you please renew your membership in ADXA.

 

Also, it is important to note that ARRL membership is required for
membership in ADXA. You may ask why and the reasons are simple. First, it is
a requirement specifically mandated in our Articles of Association. Second,
the reason it is in our Articles of Association is we are a DX club that
promotes DX and the DXCC program. The DX Century Club is an ARRL sponsored
program and you must be an ARRL member to participate. If your ARRL
membership expires you will not be able to endorse your current DXCC, obtain
a new DXCC on another band or mode, or be an ADXA member.

 

Your ARRL membership is critically important beyond the DXCC program. There
is no other organization in the United States, NONE, that promotes and
defends the amateur radio service at the FCC, in Congress, and many other
agencies and organizations. Internationally ARRL is a vital member of the
International Amateur Radio Union team defending amateur radio at the
International Telecommunications Union and at World Radiocommunication
Conference's that have the authority to take the radio spectrum, shuffle it
like a deck of cards, and hand it out to whoever they see fit. Let me state
this one more time - there is no other organization in the United States
that does this, NONE! If amateur radio is important to you then ARRL should
be just as important. Oh, you say you don't like ARRL because of some of the
decisions that were made? Well, I served on the ARRL board for 22 years,
four years as ARRL President, and it may come as a shock that I didn't agree
with everything either! Collectively, though, the ARRL board reaches
decisions based on member input and that has maintained a strong amateur
radio service for over 110 years.

 

Please renew your ADXA membership and keep your ARRL membership current.

 

You can renew your ADXA membership on-line via our website, just click the
"Join or Renew" tab at the top of the home page. You can mail a check to
Glenn, N5RN, as his QRZ.com address.

 

Thank you for your support of ADXA, DX, and the DXCC program.

 

Now, after you renew, GET IN THERE AND WORK 'EM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

73 Joel W5ZN

ADXA President
