My DX Summit launches today

The new-fangled My DX Summit (MDXS) is scheduled to open to the public
today at 1000 UTC.

MDXS introduces a fresh lineup of features with a handy propagation
tool as a real eye-opener. Predicted propagation is based on your
personal location, and by clicking a DX spot you will see the current
conditions and a 24-hour window covering all bands from your station,
short and long path, to a distant DX location.

This recent face-lift makes several new functions readily available,
assuring a pleasant user experience. Mobile users are also extensively
supported which makes MDXS the first-ever mobile-ready DX Cluster.

MY DX SUMMIT will automatically replace the current DX Summit at this

Originally switched on in 1998, DX Summit introduced something that
had not been seen before. To quote Yasme President Ward Silver, N0AX
who presented the Yasme Foundation (www.yasme.org) Excellence Award to
the Finns: They basically created a tool that fundamentally changed
the nature of HF operating.

Now the upgraded version introduces an easy-to-use propagation
forecast tool that enhances knowledge of the behavior of radio waves
in a manner that many other spectrum users just watch speechless.
"Plans are developing to integrate MY DX SUMMIT into the Navassa
Island, K1N, DXpedition. A true trial by fire...", said Ralph Fedor,
K0IR, one of the Navassa team.

Radio Arcala transferred MY DX SUMMIT to Kyynel Ltd of Oulu, Finland
who in turn employed full-time software specialists to finish this
phase and to look into the endless application opportunities that this
new software platform can facilitate. We at Radio Arcala wish to thank
the more than 500 individuals who were our test partners and provided
exciting ideas for our future endeavors to make MDXS a DX knowledge
center of the future. Currently some 135.000 unique users visit DX
Summit monthly for an average of 55 minutes during each session but
the number is expected to rise sharply, following the launch.

Ken Claerbout, K4ZW will host a Webinar in early December in honor of
this newly born portal with Radio Arcala specialists ready to explain
the essence of MY DX SUMMIT and its propagation prediction tools and
their use in Amateur Radio. Additionally, Santa Claus will appear on
the MDXS portal in December before embarking on his world tour from
the frozen landscape of the North.

Join the launch festivities by sending a maximum number of spots
during the first 14 days; three (3) winners will be visited by Santa
Claus bringing his certificate from the OHo-Ho-Ho land of Radio
Arcala, OH8X.
