The National Radio Club was founded in 1933 as a hobbyist organization for radio listening. The club is now the world's oldest and largest medium- wave DX club, a hobby of receiving and identifying distant radio signals or making two way contact with distant stations in amateur radio, citizens' band radio, or other two-way radio communications. The DX News bulletin is their official magazine, concerned with DX and radio information. This collection includes the original issues of this bulletin, as well as correspondence Kermit Geary received from National Radio Club President Robert H. Weaver upon Geary's subscription to the bulletin and inquiries about local DXing.
John Herkimer donated Kermit Geary's collection of DX News bulletins in 2014. He made a subsequent donation on December 12, 2015 which included volume 1, numbers 12-30 through volume 2, numbers 1-3 as well as welcome letters from the National Radio Club.
