I run Yaesu FTDX-5000D, FT-2000 and FT-897 rigs, and my antennas are a SteppIR 4-element yagi with 40/30m add-on on a 20m tower, a Hygain Patriot 40-6m vertical, and an inverted vee for 80m. Please view photos of my shack, antennas and QTH below.

I operate CW, SSB and some digital modes on all bands from 80m to 6m. CW is my preferred mode.

I participate in most of the major contests in the low power category. I use the special callsign V55X for the CQ WPX contests.

Since June 2011, I have been operating a permanent skimmer on the Reverse Beacon Network on the 40m to 6m bands using a QS1R receiver coupled to a Hygain Patriot vertical antenna.

I am a member of the ARRL, South African Radio League (SARL) and Namibian Amateur Radio League (NARL).

QSL Information

I will gladly reply to every QSL received using the same method you send your QSL to me. SWLs are welcome to send me reports. I use the following QSL options in effort to cater for most operators requiring a V5 QSL.

LOTW : My preferred QSL method. I usually upload my logs weekly.

Direct : You are most welcome to QSL direct. I will reply to all direct QSLs accompanied by a SAE, and US$2.00 or one current IRC, within 2-3 working days. You are also welcome to check on the status of your direct QSL by e-mailing me.

QSL Bureau : Direct or LOTW QSLs are preferred, but if you need to send your QSL via the bureau, please use the Namibian Amateur Radio League (NARL) QSL Bureau.

I support the DX Code of Conduct. Please refer to http://www.dx-code.org

See you on the bands !!

Radio Arcala, OH8X, located close to Arctic Circle, is a massive amateur radio contest station.

Serious amateur radio contesting today is like any competitive sport at an extreme level, whether we like it or not. To get everything out of the operator, it takes a winning package - the station and the existing propagation.  And behind every successful single-operator score, there are a number of people working together with their expertise as a team.

That's what we call Arcala Extremes - a radiosport team from the Far North making a maximum effort to reach the finish line first.The Arcala Extremes team is in the process of building the best "racing car" for Amateur Radio contesting to hit the front row when the next Solar Cycle peaks up. Apart from the team’s own efforts, it also assumes the best engine supplier that we proudly stand for.If your car is extreme and your driving strategy jells, you may have the ingredients that help you achieve all your desires as a sportsman.

Join in the fun, check out our website www.radioarcala.com for further information, photos and a lot more. And of course, hope to hear you on the air in contests

First licensed in 1967 as WN8YVR in Michigan. Attended Univ of Michigan (with N4KG, K8QKY and N8UM) in the 1970's. Operated contests from many, many locations, including: W8UM, WA8ZDF, K8LX, W8UA, W8SH, K4GSU, NA8V, KN8Z, W9RE, K3LR. Still enjoy contesting and regular operating, mostly CW. Hope we can QSO in or out of a contest soon.
