Instead of the annual dx-pedition to Lapland I had to settle with a local miniatyre sized listening session of a couple of days in central Finland. The weather conditions, however, made it look like a real northern expedition...
The temperature had fallen down to -36 C, when I arrived on New Year Day's evening. No problem; more clothes on, then skiis under, and out to spread a 250-meter wire onto the field. It was worthwhile, after only three minutes of listening the first new station was identified: long-hunt Desi Radio 1602 giving promos and id's. The other goal, Forest of Dean Radio 1521 made company shortly after, and after listening some Classic Golds and other European stuff on several frequencies at night and in the morning, finally RNE5 C�diz 1503 made my day. The temperature seemed to fall down close to -40 C at night in my small listening hut. 1503 2.1. 0625- RNE5 Cadiz. Regional px. 1521 1.1. 2340- Forest of Dean R. 1602 1.1. 2142- Desi R.
