Stations heard at any other location
outside the LEM158
DXpedition are listed here. The following DXing
locations have been used:
-
July 22-28th: a summer cottage
in Punkaharju in Eastern Finland with a 200-meter-long
wire to south (180 degrees) and a 400-meter-long
wire west (260 degrees). Unfortunately AM conditions
were very poor.
-
August 23-25th: Långåminne
(DXpedition LÅ218 with Jim Solatie) on the western
coast of Finland near the town of Vaasa (map),
with a 1000-meter-long wire at 285 degrees (rather
useless on these conditions), another 1000-meter-long
wire at 255 degrees (good for UK stations),
a 700-meter-long wire at 235 degrees and a 400-meter-long
wire pointing south at 180 degrees.

at all other times: my suburban
home in the city of Vantaa

Fäxradion
(WFÄX R), Färila, with just 55 watts
of power. Their new vertical antenna construction
seems to be much better than last year, when I didn't
manage to hear this station at all. This first test
transmission was in English. A week-long operation
during the annual community fest Färilaveckan. |

R
Studio Nevskaya Volna (Dom Radio Gardarika), St. Petersburg.
This is of course no rarity here, coming from so close
with excellent signal, but it was just interesting
to listen to private commercial programming on shortwaves.
