Here first a short description: My name is Harri Kujala. I live in South Finland in Naantali (a little city by the sea). I am DX-listener since 1973 and during the years I have monitored and reported radio stations from all over the world.
In these pages I show you my DX-listening history, mostly from FM and pirate radio. I think I have the largest Dutch pirate QSL-collection and the 2nd largest FM-QSL-collection in the world. Also I had own pirate radio long time ago (photo).
Now I work for two local commercial FM-radio stations in Turku. These stations are Radio Auran Aallot and Radio Majakka.

Among my DX-history I list here also my latest QSL-replies, loggings and happenings in my radio-scene. Nowdays I listen mostly pirate radios on Medium Wave and FM-stations from all over Europe.

                  I have two blogs
Pirate DX-blog (pirate radio on SW, MW) and FM-DX-Diary (FM-DX-blog)
