After an tiring and long journey finally in Parka again. Conditions at the start seemed to favour South America. But this morning mainly Alaska and West coast came through in good strenght, althougfh sometimes deep fading and noise on the band. Maybe the sun is not so quiet? Enjoyed again the snow and driving through the winter landscape of Norrbotten. Winradio is doing fine.

09-01
This morning I started listening early (3 o’clock in the morning – just to catch some South Americans). And indeed I was lucky with my Radio Diez from Buenos Aires among others. Conditions seemed to favour Alaska and we listened to many of them, sometimes in extremely good quality. I’m not yet used to it hi.
Tonight for dinner chicken from the oven and rice and vegetables. Maybe take a nap beforehand. The man (Roland) who takes care for the antennes came by. It’s almost around the clock listening – Evert had a NDB of 20 watt from Ontario.

10-01
Mainly Alaskans today, I had a new one and my count is 15 heard in Parka now (counting PAX58 too). We did a little walk to strech the legs and in the afternoon did some European bandscan (R. Waddenzee is coming through better then at home!). Sound quality of for example KNOM is on the Winradio almost hifi. I do a lot of recording with the AOR and Zen Neoon mp3 recorder.
We had macaroni and carrotsalad to keep healthy – it’s hard work being a DX-er.

11-01
A bit weak conditions today, not much new stations heard. Mainly west-coast (the big ones) and Alaska. Roland passed by an I showed him the Norrbotten TV transmission about Parka DX. Also showed him the film of CNN about Lemmenjoki. We went to Kangos to do shopping for 3 days and had coffee in the café and did some internet in their office. So DX-friends in the Netherlands are informed about our first receptions and experiences. We did look at ’Solar terrestrial activity report’. Does not seem to bad. We had a quick pizza when back. Then doing some administration (loggings, diary, statistics).

14-01
A bit noisy conditions last days, especially few stations heard from the Prairies and East and Lake district USA/CAN. But always to be possible to hear something. Alaska seems to be present almost always. We had some fine catches from South America. DRM on my winradio from R. Vaticana. We saw our first bird (white with black tale pieces). No replies on our emails (we went to Kangos again)...so maybe did not reach their destination?

15-01
Noisy day and no reception at all (after the reception of some south Americans)...so we decided to make a trip. We went to Pajala Airfield and an employee from the airport showed us the way to the NDB antenna (5 km away). We also crossed the border to Finland so that Evert could buy his stamps for his reception reports. We had a snack and coffee at Pajala and made a picture of the nice wooden church. In the afternoon we scanned the band, but nothing special. Just a few Asians made it through.

16-01
Conditions were improving. Mainly Westcoast, but weak. Later in the afternoon a nice Asia opening. Many stations from Japan. Also Alaska was back ’on the dial’.
Evert and myself took a short rest to be fresh again for the evening, hoping to catch a few East Coasters.
I did some snow cleaning and made a path to the indication shield (also found in the brochure of PAX on the internet – but then in summer) next to the school to make a picture there later (when Roland passes by again.
17-01
A nice day – not super stuff but a lot better then yesterday. Mainly West Coast and Prairies. Alaska strong as normal. I made my count of Alaskans 20 now. No East coasters of importance......strange? Sigvard told that it seems more difficult here then more ’down south’. No Asians in the afternoon. Compared to our first DX-trip to Parka conditions are much more changing, which gives different reception possibilities. 

18-01
Today mainly Alaska and West Coast again. I succeeded in catching 2 more Alaska stations (total count = 22).
Strange though why KHAR is weak now and KIYU is steady and strong? Mediumwave is unpredictable, which makes it so much fun. Did some shopping (last time snif, snif...) in Kangos and visited the internet again. We showed the man in the shop (Kulturhus) the website of Parka.. They now understand that we listen to normal radiostations and not especially amateur radio (Hams). Back home = Parka (lots of snow along the road!) we start listening again. Life is simple....radio, sleep eat, do shopping etc.

19-01 
The day started with extended band finally open. But it was just for a few hours. Probably I heard Hawaï on 590 (KSSK) – will check the music via internet. Then the band became dead until late in the afternoon when Alaska and a few West Coasters where present again. Maybe tomorrow brings us as a surprise something? Because it is our last day. Snow is now 60 cm and I made a walk to the soccerfield. Beautiful. My winterblues is over now hi.
