AIH159 DXpedition in Lapland: A trip to Norway, stunning aurora and random AM catches

Being able to take a break from war reporting was the most important benefit of the 159th DXpedition to Aihkiniemi in Lapland. Conditions were average and pretty stable, but there were no historic openings. We were able to find a few new stations mostly from the US, Mexico, China and Spain. Additionally, seeing rare reddish northern lights, getting some media attention and taking a road trip to meet Norwegian DXers in Kongsfjord were the highlights of AIH159.

A second building added to the Aihkiniemi DX base in 2020

Imagine spending a week in the middle of nowhere with 14 Beverage antennas — each roughly a kilometer in length and capable of catching hundreds of rare stations. It's possible because we've made our famous DXpedition base in Aihkiniemi, Finland available for rent to other DXers. The facilities have greatly improved in 2020. Going on a first class DXpedition has never been this easy.

AIH142 DXpedition in Lapland: A steady flow U.S. stations until a major solar eruption

Our traditional October DX trip (AIH142) focused squarely on North American stations. We had a couple of nice openings, and reception improved gradually until October 28th. Just as we expected to enjoy daytimer-filled final days of the month, a large solar eruption silenced the AM band for the remaining days. Apart from DXing, a definite highlight was an excursion to the Arctic Ocean coast, where we enjoyed the hospitality of our Norwegian DX friends over a fabulous king crab dinner.
