ARLA/CLUSTER: OH9SCL e OF9X : Feliz Natal desde a Terra do Pai Natal e da Albania

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Merry Christmas from the land of Santa Claus

Our Vision for Every Child, Life in All its Splendor - Our Prayers for
Every Heart and Soul.

Over a period of several years, Santa Claus has appeared on Amateur
Radio bands to bring cheer to the whole world, adults and children
alike, with the thrill of hamcasting from Santa Claus Land (SCL) and
even talking directly to kids of all ages all over the world.

Santa himself at OH9SCL in the capital of Lapland, and OF9X, Santa's
communication arm, will again be active on all bands. But this
Christmas, Santa goes beyond his normal mission and welcomes you and
your children to join him in the spirit of World Vision
www.worldvision.org

This is to bring Christmas also to needy children on all continents
and this year specifically in Albania. Radio Arcala and World Vision
UK have signed an agreement for cooperation aimed at increasing the
value of Amateur Radio in society at large. The worthy cause directly
involves amateurs in Albania as well. You can join the mission at
http://qrz.com/db/of9x/ via a World Vision link and also find Santa’s
ClubLog and spot windows.

Additionally, contacting both OH9SCL and OF9X this Christmas will earn
you an attractive Santa World Vision Award at no cost following your
email request to of9x  sral.fi.

The activity starts on Friday, December 19 and ends on the last day of
the year, December 31. All bands, CW/SSB/RTTY, will be used, typically
some 25 kHz from the band edge. When the station is operating on 20M
SSB around 14.225 kHz, Santa's audio and video will occasionally be
streamed at www.ustream.tv/channel/of9x-tv.

Those participating in the OH9SCL activity are Ynsky, OH9KL; Tuomo,
OH9JML; Jarmo, OH9EGH; Juha, OH9MM and Kimmo, OH9MDV.
At the controls of OF9X you will find Olli, OH0XX; Ville, OH1JD; Timo,
OH1NX; Jaakko, OH1TX; Raimo, OH2BCI; Pertti, OH2BEE; Martti, OH2BH;
Mari, OH2FPK (YL); Jyri, OH2KM; Arto, OH2KW; Pertti, OH2PM; Pekka,
OH2TA; Pauli, OH5BQ; Veijo, OH6KN and Kim, OH6KZP.

Santa will soon be at your service.
