General Information

THE ELECTRONIC DX PRESS RADIO MONITORING ASSOCIATION  formed in 1995 in Melbourne, Australia, is a society to bring together relevant information about World Radio High Frequency Broadcasting, and Australian domestic broadcasting, in a structured and timely manner. Information is contributed by individual members or researched by the EDXP Administration from many sources. It operates on the premise that the sum of pooled information is much greater than individual parts!

EDXP is a global community, offering a very wide range of hard and soft-copy services.

Please go to What EDXP Does for further details!

Members are located around the world, with about one third in Australia; EDXP could not exist without regular participation (sharing by posting) to our various Forums and services..
