NEW DX SUMMIT

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. http://www.adminotech.com
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 [the 425 toolbar is already updated]) 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 CU2A, are located in Oulu, Northern Finland and Azores Islands respectfully.
Yasme Foundation is a non-profit corporation undertaking scientific and educational projects related to amateur radio, including DXing and the introduction and promotion of amateur radio in developing countries.
