AIH212 DXpedition in Lapland: Signals from Latin America to Japan

The 212th DXpedition to Aihkiniemi resulted in neat catches from Latin America and Japan. I was also able to promote the DXing hobby live on ZNS Network, the national TV of the Bahamas. A definite highlight was being able to welcome US DXer Bill Whitacre in Aihkiniemi for the first time.

AIH178 DXpedition in Lapland: Amazing aurora and an avalanche of Applachian rarities

The 178th Aihkiniemi DXpedition far exceeded my expectations. At a point of the solar cycle when solar maximum is approaching, being able to wittness stunning northern lights was very impressive. Even more rewarding was to realize that the biggest solar storm of the DXpedition resulted in an excellent opening towards the Great Smoky Mountains. This brief window for rare AM signals lasted only 17 minutes, but led to the discovery of 17 new stations, most of them at daytime power.
