LEM482 DXpedition
in Lapland: The top DXer of North American stations
in Finland makes many rare discoveries
The
last week of October and the first week of November
turned out to be a
lucky choice for us in Lemmenjoki in terms of
geomagnetic disturbances caused by solar activity.
This good situation, with the peak area being Northern
California and Southern Oregon, lasted for a couple
of days, the scope then becoming a little more
widespread. Having previously 155 stations heard
and QSLed from the state of California, on the first
day I personally got 6 new ones, writes Hannu Niilekselä.

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.

DXpedition in Lapland: Gold nuggets from California
and TIS treasures from the Pacific Northwest
On
the 176th
Aihkiniemi DXpedition we scored three extremely
rare Travelers' Information Stations (TIS). They
are the ultimate DX targets from North America due
to their very low transmitter power. Normally, such
stations are heard just a few kilometers away, but
we caught three of them from the Pacific Northwest,
about 7,000 kilometers from Lapland. Additionally,
conditions strongly favored California, resulting
in a dozen personally new AM catches from there.

How to Identify Chinese Radio
Stations

China
is one of the few countries increasing its presence
on the medium wave (AM) radio dial, as DXers have
been able to observe. Identifying Chinese stations
can however be tricky if you don't understand the
language. With
this guide you will learn how to identify Chinese
stations based on just a few keywords and phrases.
Don't let the language barrier intimidate you, because
DXing Chinese stations can be extremely exciting
and rewarding.
