Default DXing in the Arctic Circle

These guys really had some fun and great catches with their 3000 foot long
beverage antenna's:

The LEM206 DXpedition report from the Finnish Lapland can now be read at
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/lem206rep.dx and the log at
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/lem206log.dx - complete with pictures
and a few sound bites.

For us, pretty good reception of U.S. AM stations throughout the entire
week was the highlight. Those of you who are interested only in
shortwave can still find one interesting logging, check out 3815 kHz
under you-should-know-which continent...

We have only begun to review the huge number of recordings, so I expect
the log to grow by at least 50% over the coming weeks and months. More
slogans and sound bites will also be added later on. However, I wanted
to give you a preliminary listing as soon as possible.
