Four radio hams to join Radio Arcala contest team

Radio Arcala, OH8X, reports great interest and we have received many applications from younger contesters to travel to 65 degrees North and contest under large frozen antennas at OH8X.

Given the level of interest, the conclusion is that hosting young radio amateurs at contest stations should be promoted on a broader scale as part of the contesting landscape.

The 2010 team will be welcomed to the city of Oulu by OH6KN and OH8NC.

Marius Hauki, LB3HC, will be heading a group of four and the team includes Andreas Kristiansen (30), LA8AJA, Stein Roar Brobakken (30), LA6FJA and Antti Nevantaus (28), OH7EA. They are experienced CW and contest operators who look forward to putting out big signals from Radio Arcala.

They plan to run M2 in the ARRL DX CW Contest and also to be active the day before the contest. QSL via OH2UA.

By the same token, Radio Arcala's Ville, OH2MM, is moving permanently to Brazil and will soon be QRV as PY2ZEA.
His farewell operation from Europe will be in the ARRL DX CW Contest as CR2X. Ville will team up in the Azores with Martti, OH2BH, and Pertti, OH2PM, as a multi-op entry.

QSL via OH2BH.
