Nihao! A news crew from the Chinese news agency Xinhua traveled 1,200
kilometers from Helsinki to Aihkiniemi in Finnish Lapland to shoot a
report on AM DXing. What did they find?
- A total of 14 Beverage antennas (each 3,000 ft./1 km) spread out in
the wilderness, probably a world record.
- DXers spending afternoons trying to identify mostly Chinese AM stations.
- Reindeer, hundreds of them, and indigenous Sami people rounding up the
reindeer, as part of an age-old tradition that is still very much alive.
And we were present when the highlight of the year for reindeer herders
arrived.
The 29th DXpedition to Aihkiniemi ended last weekend, and now you can
read a comprehensive report about it at
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih29rep.dx. Propagation conditions
ranged from fairly good to rock bottom. However, for at least one week
out of the three-week DXpedition there were decent conditions to North
America and the Far East. Lots of photos in the report, and a few MP3
clips, more to come later. And the logs? Yes, as soon as we've reviewed
at least 10TB of recordings. A few highlights can be found in the
report, but detailed logs will take years to compile. In Aihkiniemi, you
just can't avoid catching a motherload of interesting stations.
