DX Directory Online User Guide

The DX Directory Online enables you to search for DX Members and then copy their details to a clipboard, for pasting into a document.

It has been designed to be quick and easy to use, however you may find the following instructions useful:
Searching for DX addresses
Selecting a Record
Performing a new search`
Updating your details
Firefox compatability

Searching for DX addresses:
You can choose to search by Member name, DX number, Exchange, Postcode or Profession or any combination of the above e.g.:Barristers in EC1.

To minimise any potential spelling, punctuation or spacing issues which may result in an unsuccessful search, we would recommend you enter part of the search criteria by selecting the 'begins with' or 'contains' button.  For example, to search for Brown, Merry & Co, enter 'Brown' and select the 'begins with' button.  You can then scroll through all the results to find the one you need. 

If there are too many results, try adding in the first part of the postcode, and this will narrow down your search.

Selecting a Record
If your search has been successful, the results will be displayed beneath the search window. If there is more than one record resulting from your search, these will be displayed down the page. You may need to click on the 'Next' button in the bottom right hand corner to move through the list of results.

To select your record, move the mouse over the address and click. You will then be prompted to copy the information to a clipboard. Once you have done this, you can then paste it directly into your document.
