The British DX Club (abbreviated form "BDXC") is an association of radio hobbyists, based in the United Kingdom. It caters mainly for, though not exclusively, DXers and Short Wave listeners. It was founded in the early 1970s as the "Twickenham DX Club" by two local schoolboys in Twickenham, Middlesex, UK, and has since grown to a membership of around 500 from around the world.
BDXC publishes a monthly magazine "Communication", which is registered with the British Library (ISSN 0958-2142). The main contents of a typical magazine consist of a mixture of DX "loggings", details of radio station frequencies and programmes, letters and articles of general interest on broadcasting topics. The subjects include: UK News, Webwatch, DX News, Propagation, DRM News, Mediumwave Report, Collectors Corner (vintage Radio's etc), The Tape Circle, Beyond The Horizon, Mediumwave Logbook, Tropical Logbook, HF Logbook, Alternative Airwaves (Pirate Radio), and members contributions.
BDXC and its members are important contributors to each edition of the World Radio Television Handbook (WRTH) an annual publication listing broadcasting times and frequencies of most of the world's national and international broadcasters.
