A very worthy recipient of a NCDXF Grant. Much of the work done here at United Radio QSL Management Bureau with DXpeditions has a heavy usage with Club Log. So, thank you to the CL team keep up the valuable work! Tim Beaumont, M0URX
NCDXF is pleased to announce an $8,000 grant to Michael, G7VJR for a hardware upgrade to Club Log. Club Log is used by DXers and DXpeditioners all around the world.
“Club Log is a free service operating at a global scale, supporting 130,000 callsigns and storing 1.25 billion QSOs. Every second of every day, a worldwide base of HF DXers rely on Club Log to enhance their enjoyment of the hobby. To many, Club Log’s features and tools and integral to their pursuit of DX. To operate at this scale, Club Log uses high-end servers of the kind you might find in a major internet company’s data centres. Paying for this has only been possible due to major foundations stepping in to give us the help needed. Our server equipment was last updated in 2019, and in the intervening time the use of data modes and our popular live streams feature has expanded dramatically, putting higher and higher loads on our existing systems.
Now in 2025, we are about to renew and upgrade our equipment again – a daunting expense.
Once again, though, NCDXF has stepped forward to support Club Log and give us the backing needed, giving us a grant of around $8,000 to cover all of the equipment costs involved. Thanks to NCDXF, once the new servers are deployed, Club Log will be using cutting edge servers which are faster, more energy efficient and ready for years of high-endurance 24/7 work. On behalf of Club Log and our users, I would like to express my gratitude to the Northern California DX Foundation for their renewed financial support and backing as we renew Club Log’s infrastructure this year. Thanks to their help, Club Log can continue to grow, be reliable and ready for whatever the future holds for DXing in an era of innovation.
73 Michael G7VJR”
