This intro is from his website dxing.info

Mäkeläinen is a Finnish broadcast journalist, currently working as foreign news reporter for the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), based in Helsinki, Finland.

Mäkeläinen has been DXing since 1980. By 2018 he had collected 5000 verified AM and shortwave broadcasting stations from 222 countries and territories around the world.

Mäkeläinen lives in the interference-infested capital region, which unfortunately is not the ideal place for serious AM DXing. This is why Mäkeläinen travels to Lapland every winter. Although it can get cold, it is worth the trouble. All his DXpedition reports since 1990 are posted in the DXpeditions section of dxing.info site.

Aside from being an active DXer, Mäkeläinen has used his experience in Internet concept design to promote DXing on the Internet. His website Freeze! DXing Arctic Style was launched in 1998 and later rebranded as DXing.info
He maintains also other websites, including award-winning Finnish national debt clock Velkakello.fi. You can reach Mäkeläinen by emailing him at: mika at makelainen dot com

Mäkeläinen graduated from the University of Helsinki. He has also done postgraduate work in political science as a Knight Fellow at Stanford University in the United States and new media concept design at the University of Arts and Design in Finland.
