The Philippine DX Foundation, Inc.
was conceptualized in 1997 by a group of Filipino amateur radio enthusiasts who
felt that there is a need for an organization that would provide and support
valuable programs of interest not only to the Filipino amateurs but to the
amateur individual, group and club as a whole. In June 12, 1998, the Philippine
DX Foundation, Inc. was organized by a group of elders in Philippine amateur
radio and the goals and objectives were laid out to provide amateurs new
horizons in amateur radio. Programs on ham radio education, dx’ing, contesting,
DXpedition, awards and new areas of developments are the venues of interest.
This is a non-profit organization and as such would need the help and support of
donors and sponsors to ensure the realization and success of it’s programs.
Volunteer members upon recommendation by the membership committee are indeed
welcome to provide the man power in it’s operations. In as much as goals,
guidelines, rules and provisions are already installed, the main and foremost
objective now is to solicit the support of individuals may he/she be an amateur,
club, society or government entity. Cooperation and working in harmony with
other societies, organizations and government supplements the success of the
programs and thereby awarding those involved self-fulfillment and recognition
which then would serve as inspirations for the future ham generation. The
Philippine DX Foundation, Inc. is geared in establishing a healthy ham
community. This foundation was organized to see the uplifting of amateur radio
in the country and the projection of a respectable amateur radio community to
the world.
