Outdoor DX brings together all field radio activations in one unified stream — so you always know who's on the air from the wild.
DiscoverWhat is Outdoor DX
Outdoor DX is a unified aggregator for amateur radio field activations. Whether someone is operating from a national park, a mountaintop, an island, or a nature reserve, Outdoor DX surfaces it in real time — making it effortless to find who's in the field and work them.
The amateur radio community runs dozens of programs for operating in the field. Each has its own spotting clusters and communities scattered across the web. Outdoor DX ties them all together so operators and hunters alike have a single, reliable stream to follow.
