Heard in Fredriksfors Mar 15 - 19 - Brazil, some La Plata, but same same...

On March 15 there were very few stations that were audible at all. Strange then that R Tucumán on 930 was supposed to be the one that went “best”. The hour after (03) a couple of Peruvians from Lima (1470 and 1500). And then a strong one on 840 that turned out to be Eritrea, parallel to, but much stronger than, the more common 950.

On 16^th. there were some from Brazil already early – especially from SP. At 03 also some La Plata but most of them quite poorly. Then it got worse quickly and already before 04 there was almost nothing that was audible.

On 17^th. about “the same” as the night before, except that “everything” was one level weaker. Above all, it is very bad on high frequencies night after night.

On 18^th. there were a handful of Peruvians that were heard at 01 – maybe I could have found something there if I had had the 285-degrees antenna. At 02 – 03 about the same as the last few nights, slightly better strengths on several but also more splatter.

19^th. good strengths against the more common ones from especially Argentina at 01. Otherwise quite mediocre and early "empty" on the band.

Heard in Fredriksfors Mar 10 - 14 - that was a set back!

March 10^th. gave nothing to the log. Some weak from Brazil could be detected at 01 and then weak signals from some of the more common ones from Puerto Rico and Colombia. At 05 also a handful of eastern NA dominants before the band quickly went silent completely.

11^th. a little better but still a strong disrubance. Some weak Brazilians around 23, Peru at 00 but almost just too weak. The rest of the night some of the most common ones from Colombia and Puerto Rico but nothing good.

12^th. really bad. Between 01 and 02 some from Puerto Rico and Colombia that you could recognize but not enough to really identify. At 04 1380 Noti Uno with local strength, ans a couple of other PRs together with 1510 Monumental..

13^th. Absolutely miserable! At 03 very weak signals from Paraguay 920, Brazil 940 and probably Argentina 1350. Before and after not a single transatlantic that could be found at all. Occasional weak carriers otherwise.

14^th. could perhaps be described as “better” than the night before. In addition to the three from the night before, Brazil on 1070 and 1380 and probably Paraguay on 970 were now weak at 04. Maybe a few more visible carriers too...

March 5^th. Brazil during the hours up to 01.30. Then gradually there were more from Uruguay and Paraguay some with quite good strengths, but also a lot of splatter. Only a few from Argentina. At 03 some Colombians, but not very good and then the signals were almost gone already at 03.30.

6^th. there was apparently an opening towards Peru with a peak around 23.45 (still 5/3 then...) on the upper part of the band. Faint sound and known carriers on many frequencies, but not much more since I listened to the 255 degree antenna. Then some La Plata but not very good and at 03 it was mostly Colombia instead. 04 also the only NA of the night (WAMA 1550)

7^th. back with 285 degrees. Mostly the more common ones from Puerto Rico but also some others more interesting from the Caribbean and some Colombians. Towards the morning also some of the most common east coast NA but not very good.

8^th. there were some Peruvians at various times and without any specific peak. Mostly Colombia but no peak there either. Occasional NA towards the morning. Notably that at 04 western Canada 1140 CHRB, Peru 1560 Radio Maria and Colombia 1300 La Jefa simultaneously heard on the 285 degrees antenna.

9^th. nothing recorded.

Heard in Fredriksfors Mar 1 - 4 - a few from Brazil

March 1st. was a "Brazilian night" in Fredriksfors and not just the most common ones that were heard. Unfortunately, many of them did not reach identifiable strength when it was time but were drowned out by splatter. Some more common ones from Argentina also went through, otherwise poorly. Again bad on high frequencies and after 04 the band also faded out in general.

2nd. it took until 02 before there were any "proper" signals at all (Argentina 1230, 1190, Brazil 940). A few more stations were audible until 04, but then it was practically dead on the band again.

3rd. I had switched to 285 degrees and it was a complete failure. It didn't sound completely wrong with some Puerto Rico at 23 and some regular Peruvians at 00. Then a little jump to around 02 when some Colombians started to go. But there were few that were good enough to get anything out of – and they were also nothing to waste energy on. And after 03 there was hardly anything that was audible.

4th. I had somehow strangely set the receiver completely wrong and recorded during the day instead. It didn't turn out well...

Heard in Fredriksfors Feb 25 - 28 - Sad end on February

February 25th. was a really bad night.Only at 02 could I detect sound from a few stations. At 03 some fromPuerto Rico and Colombia but still very weak. Only between 05 and 06it started to sound like a "normally bad" night with LAsignals and occasional NA, but still only the most common ones and atmediocre strength.

26th. was not much better although some came from Colombia and Puerto Rico at 03. Then it got worse again towards the morning. 06 you could guess the most common LA stations on the upper part of the band, but too weak to try to find an id.

27th. and still very mediocre. It opened up a bit towards LA 02 – 03 but there were few signals and weak signal strengths. Towards the morning nothing.

28th. some (weak) from Brazil were heard at 22 where 879.015 and 940.013 were interesting but too weak for an id. Brazil stations then "best" through the night but nothing unusual stood out. Some La Plata but most too weak. Very bad on high frequencies.

Febaruary 23^rd. the NA signals "dominated" a large part of the night, but unfortunately most of it was too weak. Towards the morning also a lot of LA (Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico) but a lot of fading and nothing that sounded really interesting.

24^th. started with me trying against Asia already in the late afternoon but with "mixed" results. A few Thais already at 16, later some Filipino and at 19 also a glimpse from Australia (891), Also during the night there were a lot of signals but without being really good. At 00 a little West Indies and towards morning strong Colombians on high frequencies, but also a lot of strong East Coast NA.

Heard in Fredriksfors Feb 18 - 22 - Mixed but most time bad

On February 18th.there were some weak Peruvians at 00 - means I should have probably
had the 285 degreer plugged in, not 255. On lower frequencies at the
same time some from Brazil and that continued through the night. On
higher frequencies some Colombians at 06 but no strengths.

19th. could have been good... After 01 when signals started to arrive, many stations, above all Brazil and La Plata, but towards the morning also some further north. Unfortunately, there were very few who had enough signal strength that it was possible to pick out an id, even if they were "recognized".

20th. it was even clearer that it would have been better if I had used 285 degrees instead of 255. There was some from Brazil, sometimes quite well. Also occasional La Plata but then generally on lower frequencies and not very good. Despite antenna direction, it was Venezuela (1450 1490, Ecuador (Monumental 1510), Colombia (Santa Maria de la Paz 1560) that dominated the morning.

On 21st. I had changed the antenna to 285 degrees. It got even worse... There were quite a few signals, many also strong so it was enough, but they were so blurry that it was not possible to get anything meaningful out. Most of it was probably Colombia and some occasional NA - in some cases it was possible to tell if Spanish or English was being spoken but not often. There was only rattle and splatter from the whole thing. Although I "recognized" many, I couldn't get anything out of it.

22nd. the band sounded different – ​​much quieter, cleaner signals. NA such as WBAE 1490 23 and some West Indies/Colombia 00. From 04 it became quite noisy with strong Colombians mixed with strong NA dominants, often on the same frequencies, and at the same time as the noise increased.
