3RD DAY ON LEM287

Mika arrived at 22.30 utc. So it took him about 15 hours to reach Lemmenjoki. I think this is our 4th expedition together around New Year´s Eve.

Not so much to tell about the conditions. NA audible from 21 to 16 utc. Also some Orinoco and Cuba in the night. The most interesting period was after 12 utc. Antenna 300 was in full action till 13.45 utc. Dakotas and MN will offer something, that´s clear. But not much to say about the stations yet.

The current temperature is only -10 and finally the cabin is warm.

2ND DAY ON LEM287 - BORING

No morning brasilians, no La Plata, no mexicans and no even high quality yankees. Quite boring all night and day long. Canadians and dominants are booming and it is hard to be "at the right time on the right frequency". Files of more than 150 gb should contain some highlights. NRD loggings: KBSU 730, KUGN 590, KDAL 610, KUBC 580.

The current outdoor temperature is only -15. And the indoor temp has finally reached +20. That´s today´s highlight so far. Yesterday evening it was -31 and, of course, I was without electricity for 3 hours (17-20 utc). But now everything is under control, except the conditions should be much more directed and interesting.

LEM287 IS ON

I have been quite inactive this fall. No reports, no QSL´s. Except KOBB Bozeman MT 1230 and La Voz de Carabobo, Valencia 1040 (tnx ABU). However, I have been dxing at my cottage in Muhos every now and then. I suppose that 40-50 reports are waiting for sending out and some fascinating files for checking. Log is being published; most of it has already been written :-) I met with interesting evening cx towards NA on the 20th of October and 7th of November. Most interesting ones are WBNW 1120, WVNZ 1320, WLNA 1420 and WLIM 1580. I have to mention also Peru opening on the 19th of November. Also some additions concerning LEM278 and Muhos 08-09 are coming. I had really extraordinary NA conditions on the 24-25th January 2009 in Muhos. The best additions to the Muhos log are WASR Wolfeboro NH 1420 and WJPA Washington PA 1550. But more details later.

LEM287 is now on. I arrived yesterday evening before 19 utc. Having given some tulips to our 90-year-old host Kristiina it was time set up the listening post. I am not sure about the quality of the conditions in the night because I had to concentrate on controlling all the 6 SDR´s and 1 NRD in a sensible way and sleeping as well. There were yankees all day long till 15 utc. It seems that the most interestings moments were before noon. I noticed KROE 930 and KID 590 "on the fly". Next I have to google which one is broadcasting ESPN deportes radio on 1310. Probably some bullshit from the west.

Mika Mäkeläinen (MTM) will join the LEM287 team tomorrow. I will stay here till the 6th of January and Mika the 8th if conditions are favourable.

HAPPY DX-ING IN 2010 !

Replied again, this time with a nice snail mail letter.

QSL - LA NUEVA RADIO 880, MAO VALVERDE

Nice e-mail answer to a snail mail report. Attached several carneval photos. What do you think about the one below? ;-)

I heard this one in Lemmonjoki on the 30th of December 2008 during a nice opening towards Dominican Republic. PK heard them earlier this season. A lot of new Dominicans have been heard during the last two years.
