2008 LOW-BAND SUCCESS STORY FROM MARKET REEF
OJ0B & OJ0J 2005-2008 LOG SEARCH ONLINE

In case of any uncertainties about your low-band QSOs, here you have a
much anticipated log search machine and a short recap.

http://df3cb.com/logsearch/oj0/

QSLing for the 2008 operation is happening as we speak. Additionally,
all 2005 QSLs were sent to the bureau network some six months ago. All
logs are open for QSLing.

We like to thank Bernd, DF3CB for setting up this log search for us.
Our QSLing is done using his QSL management software.

Just download it and enjoy whether printing on labels or directly onto
QSL cards!

FROM THE OFFICES OF ARCALA EXTREMES

ARCALA EXTREMES LAUNCHING CQWW CW TEAM

Snow and ice are present in the Far North at the home of OH8X, and
preparations are underway to boost the signals globally, largely depending
on a regular friend - Aurora Borealis. Pasi, OH2IW will be at the controls
and running OH8X single-operator, all-band. Keep an eye on this station and
observe its Northern sound. For more, see www.radioarcala.com.

The sister station CU2X will again be operated by Toni, OH2UA, following
his smashing of the European SSB record by a wide margin. He is now
determined to do the same on CW. This is from the new QTH, and you can read
more at www.cu2a.com.

The second sister station TC4X in Asian Turkey will be activated by Martti,
OH2BH, Pertti, OH2PM and Tefvik, TA1HZ. They are there to take the first
steps for setting up a permanent station with more firepower while bringing
a breath of old times to the game.

Adding to the lineup its X-rated signals will be the team's associated
Eastern Aland Island super station signing OH0X, again mono-band, with
Pekka, OH2TA at the helm.

Radio Arcala's propagation department, Ilkka, OH1WZ of Palos Verdes
Sundancers fame will be in charge of the OH2BH station, mono-band, with his
deep-space telescope to see whether the particles streaming down with the
solar wind will pass Radio Arcala or hit it straight on the face.

And finally, representing the Arcala senior citizens department, Ville,
OH2MM will be operating mono-band as CN2M as the guest of Jim, CN2R. This
will be from Casablanca, Morocco.

Their ultimate categories are subject to a final decision when looking at
the world on the starting grid minutes before the start of the race.
