Some History

Sometime in 1980, five hams met at the Steak & Ale on Northwestern Highway in Southfield to organize a DX association. The men were K8NA Ted, W8LU Ken, K8BTH Wayne, W8SYR Jim and K8EJ Steve along with one or two others. The SouthEast Michigan DX Association was born. KR8V Gary attended the first general meeting. I remember early meetings being held at the Steak & Ale and the Botsford Inn.
