FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, DECEMBER 13rd,2018 [edited]
FROM OJ9X, FAR NORTH OF EUROPE
WHAT IS SANTA CLAUS PRIME TIME IN AMATEUR RADIO?
AS FINLAND=92S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS WIND DOWN, WE SLOWLY TURN OUR THOUGH=
TS
TO SPREADING WARM CHRISTMAS SPRIT.
The precise timing of Christmas celebrations varies from region to region.
For some it=92s Christmas Eve. For some Christmas Day. In some cases, it
may even be later on in January when the Russian Father Frost makes an
appearance. But in the world of Santa Radio prime time is this coming
weekend =96 December 16-17.
During the first Santa week, some 18.000 QSOs were made and the competition
in the ClubLog for Santa slots is fierce; <www.clublog.org/charts/?c=3DOJ9X>
Conditions so far have not been favorable towards North America, thus more
fire-power will be directed towards the US now. Also, RTTY will be getting
a big boost on virtually all bands as Santa may even jump into deep waters
and join the OK RTTY Contest, for 24-hours; Saturday from 0000 UTC to 2359
UTC.
The overall target has been set to surpassing last year=92s QSO total =96 =
33.615. You have a major say in this!
We are proud to announce this year=92s Santa team of some thirty (30) membe=
rs,
while some late arrivals may still be added onto the list;
OH0XX, OH1EG, OH1HS, OH1MA, OH1NOA, OH1NX, OH1TM, OH1RX, OH2BAD, OH2BCI,
OH2BEE, OH2BH, OH2FB, OH2GEK, OH2EUU, OH2HAN, OH2KM, OH2KW, OH2LU, OH2MZB,
OH2PM, OH2XX, OH5BQ, OH5CZ, OH6KN, OH6KZP, OH6MW, OH6NVC, OH6VDA, OH7ER,
OH7UE, OH7WP, OH7XI. =
These fine operators represent some ten (10) different clubs and have been
in part selected based on their good operating skills as well as the force
of their signals.
A few additional comments may be in order;
* The QSOs will be added to ClubLog with an approx. 24-hour delay =96
do not panic
* Dedicated specific band mode-stations cannot move as such, but other
same band modes maybe QRV just around the corner
* If Santa Radio is calling a specific area, such as USA, please kindly
cooperate and allow them to accomplish their mission
* See more details about =93Finland 100-Years Award! in the QRZ.com =96 =
OJ9X
* If you expect Radio Santa to appear down the chimney =96 kindly leave
some milk and cookies on the table
Merry Christmas to our Wonderful World of Amateur Radio and good luck to
those who are keeping the dials lit for more Santa Radio slots.
