Mostly standard stations heard this time by the weekend gang.

PAX26   021218-030107
PAX26 Log.
Ronny had a small proton disturbance right at the start but when BOS joined reception got better,hi!
When the gang from Stockholm arrived it got even better and we had a very fine ten days.
Almost anything from the PST/MST was heard but south east USA was not heard instead.

PAX25   021202-021212
PAX25 Log.
Reception was only sporadic and without profile. Hard to get any serious DX:ing done.
A few interesting ones heard but mostly by chance. A little from western USA/HI/AK and
short moments of north eastern USA. Some from Japan and Latin America.

PAX24   021123-021201
PAX 24 Log.
Magnus and Bernt-Ivan was picked up at Kallax airport by BOS and after 300 km we arrived
in Parkalompolo. Not very good reception the first two nights/mornings but much better than
the days to come... Protons and coronal holes made it hard to hear anything interesting.

PAX23   021019-021029
PAX 23 Log.
KUN started this expedition alone for a couple of days. He was checking in when LHU
checked out. BOS joined a couple of days later.

PAX22   021011-021019
PAX 22 Log.
Not very good reception at first but slowly improving. Lars instead tried a little elk hunt!
(The swedish moose ...) Only close there too.   The new Japan antenna was needed
to get any reports at all as reception kept on holding a very low profile.

PAX21   020922-021005
PAX 21 Log.
A couple of nights with extremely interesting conditions resulted in lots of FFS (First from Sweden)
logs. October 1st mostly SC/TN/KY etc. October 2nd all ND and MN stations made it great.
These days were no good at all only 400 km more to the south in Sweden.
We were north of the Aurora these days! Severe geomagnetic storm!

PAX20   020703-020714
PAX 20 Log.
A and CON arrived on the 3rd and made plans and preparations for the antenna work to be done. CON made some one-day tourist trips while there but he was the only one bringing a receiver on this expedition. A few stations noted in the log but listening in the midnight sun is no big experience...  BOS arrived on the 6th for two days of hands-on work. With the help of local people and machines an almost 500 m long very thick coaxial cable was rolled out on the ground, under a road and into the woods. On the 7th SW and sons came to the QTH for a week of combined antenna work and fishing. On the 8th all available hands were used for work on the north west coaxial wires. After two days of digging the cable was one foot under ground and I could leave the rest to A and SW and go home. Wire and transformer work.
