AIH66 – Aihkiniemi DX-pedition Day 3
Monday the 12th of December 2016
Propagation!! Finally!! After reasonably quiet morning band started to boil towards the West Coast. Around 11z signals started to pop up from Rocky Mountains to California. MW band held open to USA at least to 15z, so there are lots of gigabytes to investigate later. Stations like 1250 KIKC Forsyth MT has been found from the disks.
Then band opened to east and Japan. Nine NHK2’s with the callsign sign offs at 1540z were easy catches. It will be interesting to see what else we will find later. At 1730-1830 two ABC Aussies from Adelaide were strong: 729 5RN and 891 5AN with a good copy during the ABC news break.
We finally got all snow job done and now our car is next to our cabin. Good exercise too to two fat DXers.
The best beer of the day was RUIG / Rooie Dop Dark Storm and the meal spaghetti bolognese.
