Nokia Internal Use Only
Prediction capabilities automated for each spot Closer integration with ClubLog
ClubLog statistics utilized more Use ClubLog as your log, which enables needed listings
(country/band/mode)
Further develop data exchange APIs to publish and use real time spot data in external applications
Future Ideas

Remote stations have existed since long time to have optimal place for antennas and escaping man made noise, but all this has been done using more or less special technology: phone lines, radio links, etc.
The advent of internet and voice over internet has changed the picture drastically Enables station and user location to be separated Enables communities, eg. clubs to serve wide user
space Rules for contesting, DXing, etc. have to be updated
Progress done in CQ and DXCC coming up
Ultimate Remote and DXing

Hams are not the only ones fighting with restrictions and city pollution
Remote Astronomy
The solution is remotely controllable telescopes at optimal locations - to own or for hire

OF9X/OH9SCL activity from the land of Santa Claus was big success especially in the USA. Propagation only worked from the North and Martti OH2BH made thousands of QSOs remotely from Helsinki via OH8X.
Propagation Saved Santa

1980s and earlier Phone lines for voice and special techniques for simple control
signaling Radios were not computer controllable, thus special technologies
were needed 1990s
Early computer control over modem or slow net Voice still over telephone line or 2M/70cm
2000s Skype & Voip Good CAT control HRD and other excellent pieces of SW Kenwood remote concept over 2M/70cm
2010s Remoterig standalone boxes for VoIP and basic station control Rigs, AMPs with ethernet capability SDR radios
Next Key station elements all have ethernet and provide full ‘twin radio’ experience Standardized (HW) interfaces !? SDRs covering whole HF

Arcala remote works fully over IP without computer running at Arcala end. But system is complex and not very expandable/portable.

Station control over Web Browser Voice and radio control over Remote rig devices or PC with RR client
SW Will support SO2R
Enables multiuser usage, chat channel included Includes M/M operation remotely or locally
Authentication of users Critical configuration, user, trace etc data stored to database for data
mining Centralized server handling for all TCP/HTTP communication
Modern open source tools used: Kayak, ZeroMQ, etc. Server in cloud, no PC needed in Arcala Standardized and simplified interfaces to various devices
Summit and other links: spot -> set radio, turn antenna

DXing continutes to be important part of Arcala activities both for DX peditions and technology development
My DX Summit will allow personalisation of Summit Links to complementing services like Voacap and Clublog
will expand the usability to next level Remote technologies have developed tremendously over
the last decade providing new possibilities for radio amateur Arcala is actively developing remote technologies to extend
the station usage beyond basic contesting and onsite DXing
