Welcome
to the BCDX Club website, home of club-related history, membership and event information.
NOTICE: The BCDX Club website will be closed as of October 1, 2025.
The club is still active, but members stay connected through direct updates from the executive. Thanks to all who have contributed to the website's content over the decades -- especially its creator, Paul Peters VE7BZ, who established and maintained much of the historical content featured on the site.
The Orca DX and Contest Club, which includes many members of the BCDX Club, will create a BCDX Club information area on the Orca DXCC website in late 2025 to provide ongoing access to key historically significant items from the BCDX Club website. These include memorable Pacific Northwest DX Convention photos, Silent Keys, station profiles, and other news items published over the decades.
While this site ramains online, we invite you to learn more about the
British Columbia DX Club.
The British Columbia DX Club's 2023 annual gathering took place August 19 at Mt. Thom in Chilliwack. the weather cooperated and the smoke was bearable so a great time was had by all. (Special thanks to Koji VA7KO for the photos!)
