8.-9.11.2011 Åland

Center Finland tropo madness caused a trip to Åland for a clearer waves.

On the way I checked updated Hepburn picture with a shock, promised conditions seemed to vanish. Luckily that wasn't the case. To my relief there was something going on.

Later there were Poland, Lithuania, Latvia audible and in the late evening and next morning almost void. Even Gävle seemed to be tough to catch.

27.-28.10.2011 Virolahti

Late autumn Hepburn promised good conditions to South East. Virolahti was my target, with about 20 km to the border. There was amazingly different band with full Sankt Peterburg around. Also Estonia was well covered.
