WRTC 2006 MONITORING SYSTEM ---> You can watch the 2006 Amateur Radio Olympics live at your computer - just click www.hagasoft.com! The Contest Club Finland (CCF) team are in Brazil to run the system. Each of the 47 competing teams will release their scores at hourly intervals and the ranking will appear on your computer screen along with historical data. The referees at each station use a Nokia sponsored 6301i cell phone and its text messaging (SMS) function to get the scores to a dedicated server. From the server the scores then get processed and transferred to another SQL Server located in California, USA. Adding to the Scoreboard, another technology house (Elisa Communications of Finland) with their team at OH2AQ has moved in to provide you with continued access to all WRTC-related DX Summit spots on a specific Web site: http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/wrtc.html Several prizes are available to IARU HF World Championship participants who send a Cabrillo log to logs@wrtc2006.com or iaruhf@iaru.org within 6 hours after the contest. For the details see WRTC Press Release 054/06 at http://www.wrtc2006.com/release54.html YU6AO ---> The Daily DX reports that "it is now been confirmed that the station producing highest number of Montenegrin QSOs with the callsign YU6AO is actually a VHF only license and has been operated by several Serbian hams. Upgrading of the license to HF privileges is pending and suggests that QSOs made up to that point will be very questionable for DXCC purposes". _____________________________________________________________________________ =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** *** NEWS FROM THE WEB *** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW 6O0N: A video and photo gallery of the 6O0N expedition to Somalia can be found at http://www.i2ysb.com/6o0n/photopage.htm [TNX IK2CIO] TOP LISTS: The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now available at http://www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html.
