About Us

​​

The East Tennessee DX Association (ETDXA) began its journey in 1988 with a group of ham radio operators who wanted to create an organization where we could come together to share, learn, and grow. ETDXA has been an ARRL affiliated club since 1991. We are passionate about connecting with people who share our love of DX, and amateur radio in general. Today, we are proud to be a leading ham radio club in the greater Knoxville area, dedicated to providing our members with a fun and fulfilling way to expand our knowledge and enjoyment of this extraordinary hobby.

​

Our members are a diverse group offering a wealth of experience and expertise developed through years of operating on the air with various modes and specialties.


Our core values and love of DX are what set us apart. We are committed to excellence in everything we do, and we strive to put our members first in all our decisions.

​

Membership in our club offers a unique opportunity to gain knowledge from a group of very experienced ham radio operators, as well as to share your own experiences, preferences, and skillsets.
