The Tri-State DX Association is located in Matamoras, Pennsylvania, near the geographic borders of New York and New Jersey. Founded in 1996, the club holds Amateur Call Sign K3MX. The purpose of the club is to foster interest in Amateur Radio, particularly the pursuit of DX on the HF bands, and HF/VHF/UHF Contesting. We believe that by operating in DX Pileup and Contesting conditions, the skills to handle emergency traffic when the need arises are greatly enhanced. It is also our aim to further international goodwill and fellowship, through courteous and exemplary operating and good station engineering practices. We welcome both new and veteran local Amateurs with similar goals and interests to join us.
