A couple of weeks ago I returned from DXpedition AIH124 in Lapland, 400 

km (250 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, up in the northernmost tip of 

Finland.

At the "Aihkiniemi" cabin we have a total of 14 Beverage antennas, each 

about 1 km (3,000 feet) in length, all pointing to different directions. 

Jim Solatie, a fellow radioaficionado, joined me on this DXpedition.

I've just compiled a report of the expedition, explaining it all, with 

photos of the stunning beauty of early winter in 

Lapland:http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih124report.htm;
