About the club

A little history, the official date of formation of the club of amateurs of long-distance radio communication “Miller-DX-Club” is November 16, 1990, when at a general meeting of radio amateurs Millerovo, Rostov region, it was unanimously decided to establish this club. At its first meeting the Club Council was elected, the name of the club, which takes place in an abbreviated form from the name of the city and the general vote of the President of the club, it was Lifar Sergei (RW6LZ, new – RQ7L), who is still successfully managing the club, for his active position, the implementation of new diploma projects, for his creative approach to any sporting events. In the beginning, the club represented a small group of radio amateurs who are actively working on the air and are interested in diplomas and DX-stations. In the year of formation, it was decided to establish the first diploma of the club “W-MDXC-M”.

At that difficult time, there were ups and downs! In the absence of the information field, the club, overcoming various difficulties, continued to develop, but with the collapse of the USSR came difficult times in the activities of the club and for independent reasons was eventually suspended.

The club became a new line of development in early 2014 when it was replenished with new, purposeful radio amateurs interested in its further development.

At present, the club has an international status, as its members are radio amateurs from 23 countries, and the first foreign radio amateur – a member of the club – Josep Olivera (EA3KS).

Over the past years, the club has successfully conducted such grandiose projects as: “55-Cosmic Years”, winter war games in Russia, the World Festival of Youth and Students in Russia, the annual “Russia New Year” and folklore festival “Sholokhov Spring”, events related to the period of formation of the club. For all these years 166 special callsigns of temporary use sounded on the air, SPS operators and club members conducted about 3 million QSOs with radio amateurs from 295 countries and territories of the world, all radio amateurs who sent their QSL through the bureau and used the order of OQRS, received in their address beautiful full-color QSLs from our club!

In 2020, an Agreement on mutual cooperation was concluded between OQRS Management and our club, which gave a powerful impetus to the further development of the club!

The diploma program of the club consisting of many diplomas in electronic and paper formats, as well as pennants and posters of international level, have become very popular among Russian radio amateurs, as well as radio amateurs from far abroad.

There are a lot of plans and the staff of the club is full of optimism in their excellent implementation, will continue to work actively to involve new members of the club, further development of the club and popularization of radio amateurism in our country!

And in the end, for constant active work in the projects of the club, I would like to note the following assays of the air, among them – UA9MA, RW1F, R7AT, UA6NT, RC7M, RU0SYL, UA4WW, RU7N, R7KO, R2AKN, R3FO, R0AX, RU1QD, R0CD, R9DV, RK6K, RA6LIS …

Let me congratulate all the classmates and radio amateurs who constantly participate in the projects of the club, with 30 – the anniversary of the founding of the club! Good health, success, and active work on the air in our projects!

With respect to the President of “Miller-DX-Club”.
S.Lifar (RQ7L)
