PAX19   020302-020308
PAX 19 Log.
After a fine first day (We obviously should have gone there a couple of days earlier...) the solar wind
began blowing the stations away as a result of a coronal hole disturbance. Signals faded out over a
two day period and then nothing at all from N A was heard for the rest of PAX19. All other solar and
geomagnetic info indicating fine DX conditions!

PAX18   020223-020224
PAX 18 Log in part.
One slow day and one with fair reception.

PAX17  020214-020220
PAX 17 Log.
A couple of days with fair reception but most of the time only the dominants heard.

PAX16  020202-020203
PAX 16 Log.
Taking up DX-ing after about 15 years of inactivity Anders, who lives less than two hours by car
from Parkalompolo, went to Parka for a 24 hour expedition on his own and happened to do that on the
probably best day of this winter season! Since he was not updated and familiar with conditions or the
radio scene of today he naturally missed most of the "golden stations" probably heard by a more
experienced listener. But he will always be remembered for being first in Europe to log KVTA Port
Hueneme CA 1520! But 40 new ones in 24 hours indicate fine reception conditions!

PAX15  011227-020108
PAX 15 Log.
Surprisingly fast recovery from the effects of the proton shock noted by PAX15 with a few NA:s already
on Dec. 28th.  But then a couple of new proton showers plus low A-index over a long period made
recovery very slow  meaning almost no signals from over the Atlantic. At least not from North America.

PAX14  011222-011227
PAX14 Log.
Very interesting conditions first three and a half  days but all died within minutes at sunrise Dec. 26th as
a new proton shock arrived from the sun. We both had planned to stay ten more days but the prospects
were not too good hearing anything so BOS returned home on December 26th and RFK on the 27th.

PAX13  011201-011213
PAX13 Log.
North American signals most days but mostly same stations day after day. December 3rd was fine.

PAX12  011020-011105
PAX12 Log.

19-24.10  Nothing north of  La Plata  25-28.10  A few short Asia openings.   (Too high proton flux)
29.10  NA, but heavy Aurora. 30.10  Fair NA conditions. Alaska signals fine. Geo storm.
31.10  West coast plus south east. Nothing in between. Geo storm.
1.11  I did probably miss a short DT opening at midnight as I was checking Spain. Superb west coast and west Canada signals.   2.11  Wider opening and lots of "Dixie" signals. West coast fine.
3.11  Excellent NC/GA/AL skip. Strange signals here and there for a while. VG WC reception later.
4.11  Same type of signals as the day before. SE + NW USA. Signals died in the afternoon as a new proton shock arrived.  5.11  "Dead air". I did not even bother listen. Going home. See bottom of this page.


PAX11  011001-011014
PAX11 Log.
Two weeks with a constant high proton flux level. Nothing from North America.

PAX10  010916-011001
PAX10 Log.
Antenna work week with a little listening.
