AIH206 DXpedition
in Lapland: Static and Storytelling under Arctic
Skies
The highlight of the expedition was the visit from
my American friend, author Eric Weiner, who journeyed
to Finland to immerse himself in Sámi culture.
Together, we traveled around northern Lapland. DX-wise,
however, the AIH206
DXpedition proved rather underwhelming. Propagation
conditions remained stubbornly static, with the
dial dominated by familiar stations from the Canadian
Prairies and the US Midwest.

AIH178
DXpedition in Lapland: Amazing aurora and an avalanche
of Applachian rarities
 The
178th Aihkiniemi DXpedition far exceeded my
expectations. At a point of the solar cycle when
solar maximum is approaching, being able to wittness
stunning northern lights was very impressive. Even
more rewarding was to realize that the biggest solar
storm of the DXpedition resulted in an excellent
opening towards the Great Smoky Mountains. This
brief window for rare AM signals lasted only 17
minutes, but led to the discovery of 17 new stations,
most of them at daytime power.

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
