Old OH2AQ DX Summit goes offline November 19

The new DX Summit website debuted on May 23, 2008.
The site has been redeveloped from the ground up and uses the latest technology available. The new DX Summit has been ramping up steadily and today the number of hits is approaching 1 million a day.

In addition to providing the same functionality as the old DX Summit, the new platform offers the necessary flexibility to easily add new features which are currently on the drawing board.

The old DX Summit homepage at http://oh2aq.kolumbus. com/ redirects users to the new DX Summit website. However, all the old DX Summit data pages are still online but the trend for daily hits has decreased, as we expected. The number still remains high but the time has come to shut down the old DX Summit machine which may cause your software to stop working.

To try and maintain compatibility with older software which may no longer be supported, the new DX Summit includes a series of DX spot webpages which are 100% HTML compatible with the same pages on the old DX Summit.

Simply changing the URLs in your software according to the information below should keep it working with the new DX Summit. If your software does not allow you to edit the URLs, please contact the author of your software and ask them to change the URLs according to the information below.

URLs to change:

Latest 25 DX spots page
Old URL: http://oh2aq. kolumbus.com/dxs/dx25.html
New URL: http://www.dxsummit.fi/text/dx25.html

Latest 1000 DX spots page
Old URL: http://oh2aq. kolumbus.com/dxs/dx1000.html
New URL: http://www.dxsummit.fi/text/ dx1000.html

Latest 10000 DX spots page
Old URL: http://oh2aq. kolumbus.com/dxs/dx10000.html New URL: http://www.dxsummit.fi/text/dx10000.html

Software authors who wish to implement data exchange with the new DX Summit should visit http://www.dxsummit .fi/technical. aspx for information on data formats and URLs.

If your software does not work with the new DX Summit, we encourage you to forward this information to the author of the software you are using. We hope all software relying on the DX Summit can be successfully updated to work with the new DX Summit.

We look forward to providing you with this valuable DX resource for many years to come!

73, OH8X Team
