ZOOM Meeting Tonight, 7PM
Join our ZOOM meeting tonight for updates on our new web page development, ClubLog update, and a discussion on Field Day plans for this weekend.
Field Day 2026 - June 27-28
Field day 2026 is just around the corner! This year we are at a new location out in the country. Club members can reply to a recent email for more infomation, others are encouraged to use the contact form on this page for more information. We sincerely hope that you will join us.
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.
Come Join Us
2nd Thursday of each month at Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q, Hamilton Place, Chattanooga. Meetings begin at 6:00 PM and are open to anyone. Spouses and family members are always welcome. A door prize drawing is held following the business meeting.
A monthly virtual meeting on Zoom covers active DXpeditions, POTA activations, and general club activities. Check the Meetings page for the current Zoom link.
