Between October 30 and November 8 2018 I had the pleasure to travel to Parkalompolo in the Arctic Circle in far north Sweden. It is a location renowned for amazing radio reception from USA, Canada, Alaska, Pacific, South America and Asia. 

It has taken me a long time getting around to going through many days of listening. It is an ongoing project that I hope I will finish one of these days.

Where we stayed. The old Parkalompolo School

Sharing a great catch between us

Out for a walk in freezing conditions. After so much listening we needed to clear our heads.

The icing on the cake. The Northern Lights.
