Inspiring The Future Of RadioSport | OH8X Radio Arcala

Energizing the future of RadioSport is OH8X Radio Arcala. Visionary? Yes. Inspirational? Absolutely. The team is "on target" and I'm one-hundred percent into the OH8X vision for RadioSport going into the mid-21st Century. They "get it" and I dig it.

Their work begins even though the different kind of contest is over. Finally, at least for me, a group of competitive operators are challenging our current paradigm. That is, OH8X Radio Arcala conceptualized a future where RadioSport and Internet converge while recognizing the future depends on a serious Millennial uptick interested in high frequency (HF) contesting.

OH8X transmits positive attitude in all directions. They have taken on a serious challenge at home yet, they are willing to share their experience with others with zero understanding of amateur radio concepts. They "get it" and I dig it.

I applaud their effort to move RadioSport forward beyond the walled garden and open our sport to the possibilities of Internet. They are preparing for a sport 20-years down the road while building infrastructure, right now. I do not know the look of our sport in 2020 however given the nature of today's innovation, RadioSport of tomorrow is going to be truly inspirational.

Stay tuned to one's digital signal processor as I share my first meeting with OH8X Radio Arcala during the 2009 CQ WorldWide WPX [SSB] last weekend.
