CORE VALUES:  The MDXA membership is made up of hams with a primary interest in working DX and supporting various activities as it relates to the DX community as a whole. There are also a number of members who enjoy DX Contesting as well.

LOCATION:  The club was founded on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and carries the state's nickname "Magnolia," while the emblem also sports the beautiful state flower of the same name. Thus 80% of the current members reside within the Mississippi state boundaries. The remaining 20% live in the boarding states with a few others living a greater distance. The majority of club related activities are held in South Mississippi.

CRITERIA:  First, it only makes sense that you share the core values of DXing. Therefore the club requires anyone seeking membership show proof of having worked a minimum of 100 countries/entities. Second, we need participation in order to be more than just a list a names; therefore, it greatly helps if you are within Mississippi itself or one of our neighboring states. That way you can join in on one or more of the club's monthly/yearly or special events.

HOW THE CLUB BENEFITS: : By your becoming a member of the MDXA, the club hopes to obtain/gain "new blood" which is necessary for any organization to grow and thrive. As the saying goes, "No one should expect any improvement if the process never changes." Everyone brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the table maybe your expertise and talents are exactly what is needed for a particular area, task, event, or club idea to get off the ground. Like the chain we're only as strong as our weakest link.

HOW YOU BENEFIT:  By being active, contributing on both an individual and group level, plus being a part of a super bunch of DXing hams! Be it setting up Field Day operations, helping with the webpage, spotting DX on the club's cluster, cooking for a picnic, spearheading a special event, mentoring a local ham in the unique world of DXing, etc., it's simply up to you. We always have room for those who will contribute!

PAY AS YOU GO:  There are no mandatory dues; therefore, you get what you pay for. We go by donations only, however, the MDXA's support is well known. DXpedition contributions, IOTA trips, DX Dinners, QSL cards, webpage, and mdxa e-mail domain, Hurricane Katrina relief, etc. So remember, your actions, support, and contributions (or lack there of) are actually reflect on the club as a whole. Therefore, YOU ARE KEY!
