From the amount of snow on the ground, this could very well be early May.
The Friday drive from Vadsø was in bright sunshine, at least until sunset 45 minutes before arrival, and with temperatures just below freezing most of the way. Around 90% of the road was bare - the remaining 10% was pure ice! Studless tyres required some careful driving.
Both OJS and I had some hard drive trouble, now hopefully fixed for the remainder of this season. March 4 and 5 saw some interesting daytimer openings, mostly towards Ohio at around 23:30Z. Noted here were:
- WVCX-KY 1160 (no sign of Chicago)
- WTLC-IN 1310
- WMAN-OH 1400
- WBNS-OH 1460 (no sign of Des Moines)
- WBCO-OH 1540 (no sign of KXEL. That's 500 watts day power)
- WQCD-OH 1550 (neck-on-neck with Windsor)
- WXGT-OH 1580 (no sign of CKDO)

Tomorrow Saturday I will be heading towards my old home town Berlevåg for a cordial visit before returning to Vadsø. Here's the evening view towards east. It makes me wonder what kind of DX the coming night has in store for us. Maybe another daytimer opening?

Very envious! Good DX on the visit.
Always great to read about our Scandinavian brothers and their DXing antics! Since meeting several of you, including OJ last Spring, it makes it all the more enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!
