After the last post I found Mayotte 1458 from our Aihkiniemi files. By my suprise they also verified my email quickly giving me a new country confirmation. Also I’ve got more QSLs for 2014 FM f/ups. And even new season started on FM. I heard few new stations both on 14th and 15th of May.

Few new QSLs arrived. I have also now f/upped some old FM-reports from 2013 and got some replies. Next I will do same with 2014. Also Aihkiniemi unlistened files are still plenty.

(Numbering is one lower than before because I removed one old dublicate from 1980s).

Radio propagation has still been lousy. Some openings to Peru but not much to talk about.

Slowly but anyhow steadily QSLs arrive. I was two weeks on vacation in Puerto Rico and New York, so I haven’t sent much reports lately.

I am quite busy with AIH40-files but some reception reports have been sent out already. Here are my new QSLs since the last update:

– BBC Radio Cumbria 96.50

721. WDRC Hartford CT 1360 f/up

NA stations 720, 721, 722 and 732 were heard in Pori, the others during the AIH40. (Of course CKNB is very common in Pori too but they replied to AIH40-report!)

Me (TIK, OH1NOA) and Patrik (PW, OH6GDX) will be at Aihkiniemi DX Cabin between the 15th and 22nd of November. Our plan is to arrive early Saturday morning to Aihkiniemi and leave the site 7 nights later. We will be equipped with the regular 13 antennas of Aihkiniemi + one extra antenna pointing to Gibraltar. We will have several Perseus SDR receivers with us, our plan is to record 4 directions same time. Me and Patrik are both all around listeners so we are interested in both Americas and Asia/Oceania and everything between.

This is my first Lappland DX-pedition since 1987 MUD6-pedition to Kaamanen with Raimo Mäkelä. Patrik has once been in Lemmenjoki.

If time permits, I will report about condx on daily basis via this blog.

This season has started very poorly. After the beginning, September was very lousy and October has not provived much more either. Personally I had some antenna problems in the late Sep/early Oct but I probably did not miss much. So these are my selected loggings since the last “log blog”. I will go to DX-pedition to Aihkiniemi, Lapland with PW starting at the 15th of November – hopefully condx are better that time.

MW season started! I started mediumwave monitoring with my remote station one week ago.

Despite of poor signals some interesting stations has been heard here in Pori. I expect some good openings later this week.
