Stations logged by Mika
Mäkeläinen in 2003
All stations listed
here were heard at my suburban home in the city
of Vantaa, next to the capital Helsinki, with wire
antennas of 45 and 70 meters, and during the winter
also a K9AY loop. No DXpeditions this year. The
stations were heard from the start of the year until
the beginning of August, when I moved to the U.S.
Stations heard there are listed separately in the
Silicon
Valley Bandscan 2003-2004.
