Announced operations
What it does
Lists every announced DXpedition and special DX operation from the NG3K ADXO list in one feed, month by month, with who is on air right now, who starts next, dates, bands and modes where announced, and the QSL route.
Data and refresh
Entries come from NG3K Announced DX Operations, the list most DXers check first, fetched twice a day and cached on this server. Each row links to QRZ, the spot page, the live DX cluster and the original report.
How to read it
Start with On air now, then widen to 30 or 90 days. Search a callsign, prefix or entity such as Bouvet or VK9. Add one operation or the whole filtered list to your calendar as an .ics file.
Who it is for
DXers chasing new entities and band slots, club members planning the season, and anyone who wants the DX news of three websites in one screen.
Frequently asked questions
What is a DXpedition?
A DXpedition is a trip by one or more amateur radio operators to a rare or hard-to-reach DXCC entity, often an island or a remote territory, with the aim of making as many contacts as possible for the amateur community. Some last a weekend, the big ones run for two or three weeks with several stations on the air at once.
Where does this DXpedition calendar get its data?
From the Announced DX Operations (ADXO) list kept by Bill Feidt, NG3K, which collects announcements from DX-World, 425 DX News, The Daily DX and the operators themselves. This page refreshes the list twice a day and links every entry back to its source.
How do I know if a DXpedition is on the air right now?
The On air now filter shows every operation whose announced dates include today. To confirm it is actually being heard, open the spots link or the live DX cluster on this site and search the callsign.
What does QSL via mean?
It is the route for confirming the contact: a manager callsign, a bureau, direct mail, or an online service such as LoTW, Club Log OQRS or eQSL. Check the operation website before sending anything, because routes change during and after the trip.
Can I add DXpeditions to my calendar?
Yes. Every row has an Add to calendar button that downloads an .ics file with the announced dates, and the Add filtered to calendar button exports everything currently listed. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook all open .ics files.
Why is an operation missing from the list?
The list only contains announced operations that NG3K has published. Very short activations, spontaneous holiday-style operations and some pile-up-averse teams never announce. If you know of one, report it to NG3K or DX-World and it will appear on the next refresh.
