DX SUMMIT & OH#W: The Elisa Radio Club of Finland is managing the
original world-renowned DX Summit, and you may have
noticed that their heading includes the callsign of the
group who operates the DX Cluster, OH9W.
This coming weekend marks another interesting event
when the DX Cluster will be employed to support the
WRTC-2006 (World Radiosport Team Championship) OH
qualifying run for 24 hours during the CW/SSB IARU
Radiosport Contest.
OH9W along with six other callsigns (OH2W, OH4W, OH5W,
OH6W, OH7W and OH8W) will compete with low-power
stations to capture the honors for Finnish team captain
of the 2006 WRTC event (the competing captain
candidates will be OH0XX, OH1JT, OH1NOA, OH2UA, OH4JFN
and OH6RX).
You are invited to try to log these seven stations by
following this DX Summit link:
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/wrtc.html
From the above link you can move to the DX Summit Main
Page and send your own spots and compete for honors to
be one of the stations producing the highest number of
spots during this event. If you manage to work all
seven stations, a professional video featuring the
WRTC-2002 event will be yours at no cost. [TNX OH2BH]
