LEM96 DXpedition Equipment
March 2-9th 1996
Mika
relied on the NRD-535 (as in picture), and at one
point, had three of them in use... Jorma had an
Icom IC-R71E and a spare NRD. And of course we had
the usual antenna tuners and amplifiers.
In principle the Lemmenjoki QTH is equipped with
16 beverage or longwire antennae, 8 for both listeners.
Each antenna is roughly 0.8 - 1 kilometer (0.5 -
0.6 miles) in length. Both listeners have antennae
directed at the following areas:
- Southern part of South America
(Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile) and Spain
- Northern part of South America (Venezuela, Columbia,
Ecuador), the Caribbean and the United Kingdom
- Eastern Coast of North America and Central America
- Midwest
- Rocky Mountains
- West Coast of North America
- North (Alaska, Hawaii)
- Far East (Japan, Koreas, China, Taiwan, the Philippines)
In theory that is... since our DXpedition was the
last one of the season, some antennae had already
been taken down, and we collected several more.
In the end only half a dozen beverage antennae were
in use.
