The South Florida DX Association was founded in 1974 and its early members were made up of many of the established "DXers"  in the Miami/Dade, Fort Lauderdale/Broward, and West Palm/Palm Beach area of South Florida.

To improve the coordination of chasing DX more effectively SFDXA members used 2 meter FM in conjunction with the "one ringer" alerting system.  As the group grew in size and range simplex, point to point communications no longer was adequate.  A simple split site repeater was set up between N4XZ's QTH and W4QQN's using UHF between the two sites.  A new arrival into the area W4FLA "Sherm" as manager of the Miami Heathkit store, brought with him a packaged repeater.  Although operating on a different frequency, the group quickly migrated to the new and effective "machine".  After Sherm became K8HAM returning to Benton Harbor the SFDXA was fortunate to establish a repeater site on the channel 4 TV tower through one of our members W4WJ.  This site served the club for many years until FM broadcast interference caused a need to relocate. 

Again a fellow member came to our aid.  Our repeater is now located in The Florida Medical Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and was established in 1982.  

Our goal is to further the interest in amateur radio DX communication, serve the public interest where possible, and promote high standards in amateur radio operation. The club meets bi-monthly utilizing the facilities of the Florida Medical Center.  Our Club HF station K4FK is also located at FMC with towers and antennas mounted on the roof.

We are an American Radio Relay League affiliated club in the Southern Florida Section.
