THE ELECTRONIC DX PRESS RADIO MONITORING ASSOCIATION
formed in 1995 in Melbourne, Australia, is a society to bring together
relevant information and responsible discussion 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 see The EDXP Charter for further details!

EDXP BACKGROUND
EDXP Is
a non-commercial, hobby venture, convened by Bob Padula, of Melbourne, Australia. The small annual membership fee assists
in recovery of necessary operating expenses, including Internet costs, Domain registration, Domain maintenance, direct telecommunications'
charges and subscriptions to monitoring organisations.
There are no Committees, Councils or Constitutions, and the EDXP Charter is essentially one of a friendly
community.
Bob is a Consultant Profes sional Communications Engineer, and a freelance
technical writer, and he's been actively involved with the radio monitoring (DXing) movement in editorial, or managerial capacities,
for some 43 years. He holds the Australian Government Award of the Medal of the Order of Australia, (OAM) for services rendered
in a voluntary capacity to shortwave radio. Here is a link to his Autobiography
