and Italy and
other sources. The articles are
ordered by callsign prefix with dates of
operation highlighted in red.
Hot links for QSL and other information are provided if available.
Articles remain in The
Bulletin
while active. Also included is a Contest Calendar and a Propagation

Eastern Iowa DXer (Updated April 12, 2026)
The
Eastern Iowa DXer was EIDXA's newsletter, published in advance of each
quarterly club meeting. Bob, WØGXA, consistently published one of the
greatest amateur radio club newsletters anywhere! It was always loaded
with good information and was a great read! Unfortunately, Bob has
stepped down as editor, and his final edition was the October 2025
issue. Kudos for a job well done, and thank you, Bob! If you would be
interested in carrying on Bob’s tradition, please contact Todd, KKØDX.
An archive of past newsletters is still maintained on this website on the "Newsletter" page.
