** EDITOR'S SPECIAL NOTICE: This week's bulletin was sent out earlier
than normal to accommodate the late CQWW WPX CW Contest announcements.
Also, we wanted to provide the readers with a consolidated listing
of the CQWW WPX CW Contest participants.
** SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR (Short Dayton HamVention Wrap-Up By KB8NW):
The 2012 Dayton HamVention was really great this year. The weather was
hot, but good. The attendance was high - reported 25,000+. There were
plenty of things to do and see. I heard there were great turnouts at
all the dinner banquet, forums and the Contest University. The Northern
Ohio DX Association's hospitality suite was once again a big hit with
a record attendance. During the SWODXA DX Dinner, the CQ Hall of Fame
awards (as seen in OPDX.1062.20) were announced by Chip/K7JA and
Gail/K2RED. Your editor, along with Don/K8MFO and Tom/K8CX, was there
to receive the plaque for Don Chesser, W4KVX (SK). Also, announced was
the SWODXA's "DXpedition of the Year" given to the HK0NA Malpelo Island
operation, and the "DXpeditioner of the Year" was given Rudy Klos, DK7PE.
The DX Forum on Saturday, had excellent presentations on T32C, ST0R and
HK0NA. However, the presentation that stood out was the one by Don
Greenbaum, N1DG, on "DXpedition's Funding and Costs". This is something
every DXer should see and should be shown at every DX association and
club. It will open your eyes. Don's excellent PowerPoint presentation
from Dayton is now available at the NCDXF's Web page at:
http://www.ncdxf.org/misc/N1DG-DXpeditioncosts-Dayton2012.ppsx
In all, can't wait until next year. Hope to see you there.....

RADIO ARCALA MOVES ACROSS THREE CONTINENTS IN WPX (Press Release):
"In the summer months of the Far North, the midnight sun never sets and
no QSOs are possible on the point rich lower bands. Additionally, 10M
rarely opens in the North, so the only choice left to Radio Arcala and
their associates is to tactically move South to satisfy their competitive
urge.
The troops are still spearheaded by their battle ship, OH8X and the
specific target is to reach North America with the massive hardware of
Arcala fame, boldly challenging the forces of Mother Nature.
Northern Europe:
OH8X will be operated by Toni Linden, OH2UA
OH10X by Kim Ostman, OH6KZP
OH0X, Aland Islands by Pekka Holstila, OH2TA
Asiatic Turkey:
TC2X will be operated by Pertti Simovaara, OH2PM.
ADDED NOTE FROM TA1HZ - Operating from Istanbul (TA2KN Turkish
Scouting and Guiding Federation Club station in Umraniye)
South America:
PW0F will be operated by Ville Hiilesmaa, OH2MM/PY2ZEA

roof of the house collapsed under the weight of the snow). This will
