>DX SUMMIT ALERT
>
>The Old OH2AQ DX Summit Goes Offline November 19, 2008 at 1000 UTC
>
>The new DX Summit website at http://www.dxsummit.fi/ debuted on May 23,
>2008.  The site has been redeveloped from the ground up and uses the latest
>technology available. The new DX Summit has been ramping up steadily and
>today the number of hits is approaching 1 million a day.  In addition to
>providing the same functionality as the old DX Summit, the new platform
>offers the necessary flexibility to easily add new features which are
>currently on the drawing board.
>
>The old DX Summit homepage at http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/ redirects users to
>the new DX Summit website. However, all the old DX Summit data pages are
>still online but the trend for daily hits has decreased, as we expected.
>The number still remains high but the time has come to shut down the old DX
>Summit machine which may cause your software to stop working.
>
>To try and maintain compatibility with older software which may no longer be
>supported, the new DX Summit includes a series of DX spot webpages which are
>100% HTML compatible with the same pages on the old DX Summit.  Simply
>changing the URLs in your software according to the information below should
>keep it working with the new DX Summit.  If your software does not allow you
>to edit the URLs, please contact the author of your software and ask them to
>change the URLs according to the information below.
