222 Hello Friends, Greetings from DX Engineering headquarters! We've worked hard filling our catalog with the latest and greatest amateur radio gear. Please enjoy looking through its pages as you plan to upgrade your station to make more contesting QSOs, fill your logbook with All Time New Ones, or prepare for a successful Field Day. Whatever your goals, our team will be here to support you every step of the way. Of ering friendly and knowledgeable guidance to our customers is one way DX Engineering is Giving Back to the hobby that has given us so much throughout our lives. I was fortunate to have patient mentors who encouraged my passion for ham radio more than 50 years ago, leading to a lifetime of unforgettable experiences and friendships. Every longtime operator at DX Engineering tells a similar story of Elmers who were there to answer questions, help build first stations, and pass on years of operating wisdom. The tradition of Giving Back continues to be a cornerstone of what it means to be a ham. We've made it the theme of this year's catalog, but this phrase is more than a slogan to us. At DX Engineering, Giving Back is a philosophy that guides us as a company. We put this idea into action by... • Serving as Volunteer Examiners, emergency operators, and club of icers who aid our communities and tirelessly promote amateur radio • Providing equipment for rare DXpeditions like Clipperton Island, TX5S, Swains Island, W8S, and many others • Helping enthusiastic hams in countries that are still developing an on-air presence • Supporting young hams through mentorship, unique operating opportunities, and donations of gear to build student stations • Educating amateur radio club members via free Zoom webinars • Producing free weekly informational content on social media • Developing new products that make operating easier and more enjoyable As more and more people get licensed, now is a great opportunity for all of us to consider how we can Give Back to the ham radio community. Together, we can ensure that the world's best hobby will continue to thrive for generations to come. On behalf of the entire DX Engineering team, let me thank you for choosing us for your ham radio needs. Please know that your support means the world to us. I hope to hear you on the air soon!
