LAST-MINUTE SANTA CLAUS NEWS

The team at OF9X is pushing hard in their year-end Christmas activity, and will hopefully pass the 20,000 QSO mark soon. A large number of children seized the opportunity to say hello to Santa on Amateur Radio which brought cheer to their Christmas and made Grandpa a proud facilit- ator. The activity will continue until the end of 2014 and you still have another opportunity to catch the 2014 Santa spirit.

Santa himself at OH9SCL has returned from his world tour and tonight he will hit the bands to run in parallel with OF9X for the closing days of 2014. You need to work both stations - OH9SCL and OF9X - to qualify for a “2014 Santa Claus World Vision Certificate”. Once you have done that, please notify the Santa Desk at of9x@sral.fi.

The underlying objective of the OF9X project is to raise money for Albanian children in need through World Vision. The project has been a great success and its aim is to establish a dedicated school with the help of DXers supporting this worthy cause. You can still join the project:
