The NDB List is a 'private' group of DXers who are interested in Non Directional Radiobeacons, DGPS Beacons, Navtex Stations, HF, VHF Propagation Beacons and Cluster Beacons. In fact we like all kinds of beacons, and try to cover them all. We were formed back in November 1998, and currently have around 340 members in over 40 countries, but you won't find us listed in many places, not because we are some sort of secret society or anything sinister, but because we like the group to remain 'private' and are very proud that we have managed to retain a very friendly atmosphere, and avoid the spammers and flame wars that have ruined many other good 'open' e-mail reflectors. In fact such people would not be at all welcome in our group, and would very quickly find themselves removed without delay. In spite of being a private group we do welcome new members who have an interest in beacons, but we like to know who it is that wants to join us, and we will query any suspicious looking e-mail addresses that apply for membership. This may seem like a hard line, but it has worked very well to date, and our members appreciate our attempts to retain the group's very welcoming feel.
