Arcala Extremes - OH8X
New contest alliance from the Far North

Martti, OH2BH, reports:
"The world's northern-most contest alliance is ready with a mission and team to be part of this year's CQWW SSB battle.

"Just this week they will be augmenting their already impressive firepower with a 100-meter (330 ft) massive rotating tower going up adorned with a full-size 3-L 160M
beam and 5-L 80M beam, which they claim to be the first of their kind.

"This marks the team's latest frantic effort to boost the signal from the worst propagation region in the world.

"While OH8X will be operated by Marko, OH4JFN, their sister stations CU2A (Azores Islands) and TC4X (Asian Turkey) will be operated by Toni, OH2UA, and Pertti, OH2PM, respectively, while OH0E (Aland Islands) will be manned by Ville, OH2MM, and CN2B (Morocco) by Martti, OH2BH.

"Their strategies and categories still remain to some extent on the drawing boards.

"A series of full-color QSL cards can be obtained as follows:
OH8X via OH2UA   OH0E via OH2MM
CU2A via OH2BH   CN2B via OH2BH
TC4X via OH2BH

"The team wishes the world's contesters every success in their efforts to contact Arcala Extremes."
