More Than a DX Club
TVDXA was formed in 1989 as a subgroup in the general ham community for those primarily interested in chasing DX. Since then our membership has become quite diverse. We are made up of DXers, avid contesters, QRP enthusiasts, POTA & SOTA activators, and casual rag-chewers. All are welcome.
The club call sign was changed from KM4EA to N4LT in remembrance of one of our founding members, Dick Wilson. Dick was a kind member, a friend to all, and was always willing to mentor and assist other hams. We want to keep his legacy alive and are grateful to his family for allowing us his call.
The purpose of the Tennessee Valley DX Association is to bring together radio amateurs in the greater Chattanooga metro area who are interested in, and enjoy working DX. We encourage fellowship among our members, promote good operating practices, and participate in a wide range of on-air activities including contests, POTA, and DXpeditions.
