Midnight at the arctic circle. We finally have midnight sun. Arrivwed here 2 hours ago. No wind. 15C. No mosquitos (!) and I enjoyed a cigar outdoors.
Nothing on 6m but I was heard south.
Hopefully 6m is open on friday. It is a public holiday as we are celebrating our National Day.

Today it is a bit cold. I make sure the wild animals have something to eat. Today I had a new guest at the "table". He was enjoying some frozen meat. Long time ago I saw a weasel. I have 3 squirrels every day, a pack of nutcrackers and smaller birds.

A bit cold today. The night long so expect a bit colder here.
However, I am sitting barefooted in my radio shack wearing shorts and a tshirt.
The local reindeer enjoy the roads.
First day in 2025 that I have a little energy. Been sick with the flu since monday last year (!)

Solar maximum is nice. This was the first visible Aurora on the 12th of september. The big storm in spring of 2024 was not visible here as we had too much daylight here at the arctic circle. Now we can see it if not daily, at least very often, if clear skies.
