 YOUNG BRIT CAME OUT AS WINNER OF RADIO ARCALA ESSAY CONTEST Minimize

It was in February 2009 when the team at Radio Arcala, OH8X launched an essay contest to get some fresh ideas from today's youth and their elders to boost  recruitment to the ranks of Amateur Radio. Great participation was ensured, and determining the winners took some effort from a multinational jury representing six nations.
 

A 19-year old Briton, Mark Dumpleton, 2E0NCG came out as winner by a fair margin while two U.S. hams, John Scott Anderson, KC9OQO and Brian Wood, W0DZ , finished in second and third place respectively. Argentinian Diego Salom, LU8DX was recognized for his submission of the best Spanish language piece.

 

You can read Mark's piece and his interview at under the Young People Terms button and get your personal inspiration to do your share for Amateur Radio.

ARCALA EXTREMES AT OH8X FROM THE FAR NORTH

 

Arcala Radio, OH8X, located in the Far North at the Arctic Circle under the Aurora Belt, captured the imagination of a team of Finnish radio operators gathering around the fireworks to think. Their subject was not only to change the order of North and South in competitive amateur radio but also to assist in making sure that the stream of radio contacts would keep coming in regardless of our aging brotherhood. And thinking is what they did; in the wee small hours of the morning they came up with the Mission of Arcala Extmeres to convey a message throughout the world and to invite all in their ranks to join and share in the thinking of that bright Northern Night.

Here the Older Types felt a need to pay back something that had enriched their lives spiritually and professionally, and they reached out to a group of Younger Types to set targets and create a new language. They forced themselves to do the impossible, breaking old barriers and competing for the souls of today's smart youth. We challenged Arcala Extremes to do the impossible, not only swapping North and South, but also seeking others to join in the fun and approaching young on their own terms, encouraging the competitive urge of youngsters to make the impossible possible in the course of their own lives through radio communication experience and related exciting theories.

Arcala Extremes is headquartered in Finland while operating in a European context. The message is global, and the experience is for us to share. Read about the Arcala Mission and let your imagination fly to do your share of impossible. When we meet over the airwaves, we will then have something valuable to share and be proud of. The world is at our fingertips.

 

OH8X is calling.
