Ylämummo revisited

We have had huge problems with our internet connection thus we are one day behind in our reports. We´ll try to catch up soon, if and hopefully when internet-cx gets better. The weather has been either below -20 degrees or snowing. We have got about 20 cm more snow in the last couple of days.

Nevertheless, DX-cx got better again on wednesday. Cx started at 22 UTC with stations like 1300-WAVZ, 1350-WGPL, 1500-WFIF, 1590-WGBW etc. At 23 UTC we got 1070-WAPI with nice TOH-id. The cx continued whole night; U.S.-cx mostly C2C with lots of Cuban and Oronoco again (starting from 530-R Enciclopedia and Rebelde).

In the morning at 08 UTC we had nice opening to EC continuing until 10 UTC, with stations like 630-WMAL, 1240-WBBW, 1340-WXKX, 1320-WDER. After 10 UTC cx again to MN and westwards.

On our first Lurx-expedition we had great cx towards OR-WA region. But compared what we experienced later today, that was nothing. The cx started at 14 UTC with huge 1540-KASA TOH-id accompanied with 870-KLSQ and 1500-KSJX. But the best was yet to come. After brief BC-cx with 760-CFLD, 840-CKBX and 870-CFBV, at 15 UTC we got a real treat from OR-WA-region: 660-KXOR, 660-KAPS, 720-KFIR, 960-KALE, 1240-KCLV, 1280-KLDY, 1490-KBZY and 1590-KTIL among other more common stations. And there´s still huge amount of files to go through.
 

After today´s superb cx lots of adrenaline was running in our veins and we decided to took the challenge of providing wood to the next expeditionists. And as always we did it the lurx-way going well over the top. In the heat of the moment we lost the track of the location of the entrance of our cabin but we finally managed to find it somewhere from the middle-front of the pile. Unfortunately one of us didn't succeed and is still somewhere out there outside on the other side of the pile trying to find the way in.
