International Radio DX Group (Spirit of Australia) was formed in Sidney, Australia on 13 March 1994 by our first President Tommy 43IR01. End of 1997 the HQ of 11 meter section was given to Max 2IR123 and moved to New York and later to Miami Florida USA. Max motivated many nice DX pedition and started to print small newsletters and first directory. Max had to stop with leadership of IR-DX Group and asked Jan 19IR01 to be 3°President of IR-DXGroup. Jan took over 11 meter section personally in Miami 5 May 1998. IR-DX Group was already well known for incredible rare activations. Jan took care of many IR-DX managements and with his team he organized first IR-DX meetings in Holland. During his 5 years of leadership many members joined and activity with activations,meetings and internet was more and more growing. On 30 June 2003 Jan 19IR01 resigned as IR-DX President and suggested Stefano 1IR749 to continue leading the Group since he already did a lot in the past like directory and Qsl printing. At the meeting in Holland Stefano was introduced as 1IR01 the new President. In 2004 our Group was celebrating 10 years anniversary, we had several contest events, international meetings and printed special 10 years Qsl to celebrate and remind this fact. After discussions about renewal payments Stefano quit his job on 30 September 2004.

Jimmy and his Vice President will organise new structures according to our philosophy.
