AIH76 DXpedition in Lapland: AM stations from Fiji, Micronesia and Tuvalu heard

South Pacific island music was the soundtrack of the 76th DXpedition to Aihkiniemi. Hawaiian stations were heard almost daily, AM catches from New Zealand were netted on several days, and a few rare stations from other islands were logged as well, Radio Tuvalu (621 kHz) and V6AH from Micronesia (1449 kHz) being the highlights. Conditions to North America were not quite as good as low solar activity would have suggested.

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.
