    2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the Arkansas DX Association.
    
    ADXA is Arkansas’s only 100% ARRL member affiliated club and has enjoyed
    great success since it began in 1967.
    
    With a charter to support DX’ers in Arkansas and the pursuit of DX, its
    foundation is laid in encouraging, mentoring and developing the technical
    skills of radio amateurs and promoting first class operator talent and
    efficiency.
    
    Among its members over these past 50 years have been several world
    renowned DX’ers at the top of the DXCC Honor Roll, DX'ers who have
    traveled to and activated some of the most remote countries in the world
    as well as three ARRL Directors, two ARRL Vice President’s and two ARRL
    President’s!
