NEW DX SUMMIT HITS THE STREETS ON FRIDAY, MAY 23, 2008 AT 16.00 UTC
The original OH2AQ DX Summit was launched in 1998. It represented
something that changed the entire DX hunt. Spinning the dial
became old history that would never return.
Yasme Foundation President Wayne Mills, N7NG put it as follows;
"Jukka Salomaa, OH2BUA and Antti Kantola, OH5TB were awarded the Yasme
Excellence Award for conceiving, operating, and maintaining the DX
Summit, the first widely used Web-based spotting network portal. They
created a tool that fundamentally changed the nature of HF operating,
a true advancement of the radio art."
The OH2AQ Summit has been a reliable tool for DX spotting for ten years.
It was based on a concept and the computing power of those other days.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of this innovation.
The New DX Summit, operated by Arcala Extremes, OH8X and supported by
Yasme Foundation Inc., boasts a dramatic increase in computing power
with the latest available equipment providing easy access to configure a
Microsoft Server 2003 platform. State-of-the-art multiple servers are
located in California, USA for fast information throughput and massive
data storage. A huge amount of data will be retrieved for potential
future applications. The system has been developed by Admino
Technologies Ltd. located in Oulu, Northern Finland.

Traffic congestion should be a thing of the past. You can sample the
speed and functionality during this coming weekend's WPX Contest. You
should reconfigure your setup to <http://www.dxsummit.fi> (please update
your browser bookmarks) because the original OH2AQ DX Summit will close
down soon.
While the new system begins as a stepped-up carbon copy of the original
system, it will provide an advanced technical platform for many new
features that are on the drawing board as we speak.
Arcala Extremes, OH8X is a group of serious hams seeking technical
innovations, experimenting with advanced radio and antenna concepts to
further the evolution of amateur radio by using the competitive spirit
as their trademark to attract young people. Their stations, OH8X and
