Welcome to CQDX.group

Freebanding refers to the practice of operating radio equipment on frequencies outside the standard CB (Citizen's Band) allocation. This includes:

• Extended CB frequencies (25.615-26.065 MHz)
• Freeband frequencies (26.065-27.405 MHz)
• 10-meter amateur radio frequencies (28.000-29.700 MHz)

Freebanding allows operators to communicate over longer distances and access more channels than traditional CB radio.

DX stands for "Distance" and refers to long-distance radio communications. In the context of CB/Freeband radio:

• Local communications are typically within 10-50 miles
• DX communications can span hundreds or thousands of miles
• DX conditions depend on solar activity and atmospheric conditions
• DX operators often use specialized equipment and techniques

DXing is a popular hobby among radio enthusiasts who enjoy making contacts with operators in distant locations.

CQDX.group uses a unique call sign format that identifies operators by their location:

Format: [Country Code] CD [Unique ID per Country]

• Country Code: Based on international CB/Freeband divisions
• CD: Stands for "CQDX" (our group identifier)
• Unique ID: Sequential number per country (001, 002, 003...)

This system ensures each operator has a unique identifier while maintaining a logical organization by geographic location.
