DXpedition in Lapland: Best ever opening to New
Zealand
Our
DXpedition to
Aihkiniemi was number 88 in the history of this
DX cabin. This is a lucky number in China, and I'm
inclined to agree: We got the best ever opening
to New Zealand, logging dozens of rare stations
from there. Reception of North American stations
was also good almost all the time. Despite low solar
activity, the aurora borealis was a performance
to die for.

The Ultimate AM DXing Base
in Lapland Available for Rent

Imagine
spending a week in the middle of nowhere with 13
Beverage antennas each roughly a kilometer
in length and capable of hearing hundreds of rare
stations. It's possible because we're
making our famous DXpedition base in Aihkiniemi,
Finland available for rent to other DXers. Going
on a first class DXpedition has never been this
easy.
