OPENING FOR WORLD'S NORTHERNMOST CONTEST TEAM, OH8X. RADIO ARCALA

Far above 60 degrees North in the icy arctic reaches of Northern
Finland lies a log house with an original Finnish sauna along with the
radio station OH8X with its massive antennas springing up from the
barren tundra.  See <http://www.oh8x.com/>

Should you like to experience the deep North with its blazing Aurora
Borealis coupled with unique polar openings to the United States, this is
your chance. Radio Arcala will host 4-5  younger contest types
participating as a multi team in the ARRL DX (CW) Contest on the weekend of
February 20-21, 2010. The event will start Thursday evening on the 18th and
finish on Monday the 22nd. SSB/WARC operating will also be available on
those days, including on a limited scale during the contest weekend.

Your destination will be the city of Oulu from where we will take care of
you. Just drop us a note and explain your desire as well as your potential
as an operator on a multinational CW team.  Send your email to team leader
Marius Hauki, LB3HC [mhauki at gmail.com] and he will give you more details.

You may also contact your favorite Contest Club and/or contest operators in
your area for their expected support in making your trip a reality. You
would owe them an adventure report upon your return.
