> DX SUMMIT ---> In the process of making the DX Summit service more
> focused
> on younger user segments and non-amateur radio population, two
> features
> have been added recently to the Radio Arcala (OH8X) DX Summit
> portal
> (http://www.dxsummit.fi/). Each spotting and spotted callsign
> is
> automatically linked to qrz.com, providing a more human link to
> the
> personal profiles of people and to their pictures. Additionally, each
> line
> carries the name of the DXCC country spotted.
> In a few months time, custom selected filters will be provided to
> the
> public allowing users to receive personalized spots. While initially
> the
> selected spots will be sent to your personal e-mail address, the
> ultimate
> aim is to offer an SMS (short message service) option to DX Summit users.
> This service is a non-profit exercise for Radio Arcala, but donations
> will
> be gratefully accepted. A Help Desk for regular users and for
> S/W
> developers is being set up, and support is currently channelled through
> the
> relevant button: donations will be used to help fund exclusively the
> DX
> Summit Help Desk function, and OH8X will send you a Radio Arcala
> wall
