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. 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.

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.

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.
