TreasureCoastHams.com is the web home of Treasure Coast Ham News and The Grid Chaser’s Atlas of the DX World. And now we are also the temporary home of ADT Memories, including ADT Folks in the Service (a World War 2 project), The ADT Transmitter news magazine archive and more.

ABOUT TREASURE COAST HAM NEWS

Treasure Coast Ham News was a newsletter published for 5 years. It was dedicated to amateur radio on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Our mission was a simple one: to educate, entertain and inform area hams; and by doing so, increase excitement about amateur radio and encourage participation in local ham radio clubs and activities.

With the Winter 2024 issue, the newsletter was retired. All past issues are now archived on this web site in .pdf format. You can read or download them at your convenience.

ABOUT THE GRID CHASER’S ATLAS

The Grid Chaser’s Atlas of the DX World is a series of spreadsheets based on the Maidenhead Grid Locator system. It documents the grids occupied by all 340 DX countries / entities recognized by DX groups and most logging services. The Atlas is intended for DXers and shortwave listeners interested in documenting countries and grids where QSOs were made.
