DXpedition in Lapland: Business and pleasure combined
 Aihkiniemi
in the Finnish Lapland is an ideal place to work
remotely while spending the rest of the day scanning
the AM dial. Also, antenna maintenance provides
more than enough exercise. As impressive northern
lights hint, propagation conditions were quite variable.
Still, there was plenty to listen to from all directions,
detailed in this AIH133
DXpedition report. 15 TB of SDR recordings are
waiting for closer inspection.

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.

Using
Carrier Sleuth to Find the Fine Details of DX
 As
technology advances, making highly accurate measurements
of the carrier frequencies of received radio stations
is becoming more widespread, especially among medium
wave DXers. A few programs can deliver such details
by playing back SDR files. One of those is Carrier
Sleuth, and Nick
Hall-Patch looks at output waterfalls from this
program, while addressing how they can aid the DXer
in hearing new stations. He then goes on to describe
how to generate these outputs, as well as the non-visual
data that is available from them.

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.
