February 2001
A very fine month! But I missed much of the goodies... If I had only packed for the PAX9 expedition a couple of days later and stayed one more night in Parkalompolo I would have had a dozen more reports! Both my transport days were very fine! But still I can not complain ...
1.2 Not much listened but no indication of conditions 2.2 Fine peaks around sunrise but auroral disturbance so only short peaks. 3.2 Did not tape the night but fine signals when I swiched on at 0545. Signals all day from what the VCR-cassettes say. On again long before midnight. 4.2 Good reception continued from before midnight. Fair night and a few better periods. The weaker stations drowned in the atmospheric noice after 0730. 50 kW stations heard well. Nova Scotia long before midnight with extreme signal. 1320 at S9+20dB! 5.2 Interesting night and morning but did not listen much. VCR recorded fine signals... Very fine USA opening before local sunset! But I missed all those Daytimers.... 6.2 Auroral activity blocked out most signals this night. Short peaks only. 7.2 Only a few stations heard for short skips but at fine signals. 8.2 Did not listen or tape this night. Obviously a mistake. Fine Florida signals in Hammarstrand. 9-10.2 Comment as for the 8th! Too much work these days. 11.2 Nothing listened as I packed down my equipment and moved it up to Parkalompolo. (400 km to the north.) Very fine reception says SW, LAB and others.... 12-25.2 PAX9 expedition. 26.2 No listening. Radios, recorders, clothes and other all over tables and floor... Fine cx! 27.2 Connected again but no signals now.... 28.2 Did only check for a couple of minutes and Iowa 1600 & 1540 fine a few seconds.
