[email protected] Happy 40th Anniversary to the British DX Club! 40 summers ago who would have foreseen that The Twickenham DX Club would become respected around the world by the DX community; a club which would grow and outlive many of the radio stations that it monitored in its early years? There are several members from 1974 who are still with us on this ever evolving radio journey - who saw TDXC become BDXC and who helped Communication grow in size from three pages of typing to the 60 plus pages of news, logs, and photos that it is today- in print and in electronic format.
