Just wondering if anyone onhere belongs to any radio clubs at all? I belong to the MudDucks SSB club. It's a DX club that was started by 2 guys that are fairly local to me and there is about 500 members so far. Pretty cool to talk to fellow members when the conditions are good. We do a roll call every Monday 8pm est on 37usb if the dx is rolling. If anyone is interested in being a part of the group PM me for info or give a listen for fellow MudDuck stations on the waves. We cover most of the states and also one member in South Africa station 1422. I hope this is ok to post in here.

I have heard some of the members on the air. I am a member of Radio Canada although I don't use sideband all that often anymore. I am starting to think there is getting to be more competition on ssb than on am. And that is not good considering that ssb typically only uses 3 or 4 channels.

There used to be a group around here called "International Sidebanders" but members have fallen by the wayside,I had "Unit #67" I still use it dxing,have not heard much about clubs the last few years.

That's cool! How long ago did you belong to them? We are always looking for more people that like ourselves that enjoy talking dx! They are supposed to have a list of all members in what state they are in so you can hang it up and and mark off which members you have talked to. I got a certificate years ago for talking FM dx. Me and my neighbor were chatting one day above the citizen band on a FM channel and I heard another station in there and ended up chatting with the guy for a while and come to find out him and his wife ran a FM DX club. This was back in 1995 and I just recently found the certificate and hung it up in my radio room. I never talked to them or any other members after that but it was preety cool to talk dx on FM!

There are a number of SSB 11 meter DX clubs. Sugar Delta, Needle Bender, and Alpha Tango come to mind. Here is a link to a list of them. Well if it's allowed to be posted here and not blocked.

I was originally part of a group out of Fayettville NC called the "Sierra Radio Group", hence where I got my handle "SR118". More recently I was part of a group here in my home state of MA called the "Wolfpack". Unfortunalty, I haven't heard either group in several yrs.

spoke with mud duck 424 a while back and haven't had any skip going in that direction since
I belong to an old ssb club which I can't find any reference for anymore. WDX 617 was my assigned number when I joined that one and is what I use when on the air.
