Heard in Fredriksfors Sep 17 - 20 - not exactly a brilliant start

It hasn't exactly started brilliantly this season.

September 18^th. we were still in the middle of a heavy disturbance - and the result was as ypu would expect Perfil 1190, Provincia 1270 and Buenos Aires 1350 were legible at 01 - otherwise some occasional mumbling.

Slightly better on 18^th., but still not great. Lots of noise and crackling. Giant strengths of e.g. 920, 940, 1200 and 1510 at 03 – 04 UTC. And stations on almost every 10 kHz, although most were far too weak.

On 19^th. I switched to the 285 degree antenna, believing the conditions would have moved north. It turned out to be a misjudgment. The mw-band was almost empty of carriers both this night as well as 20^th.. Dos Mil 1500 and a couple from Brazil loomed at midnight UTC 19^th.. 20^th. there was nothing until 03 and a good half hour ahead when the frequently heard Peruvians on 1470 , 1500, 1570, Monumental on 1510 and the Puerto Rican on 1350 was heard with an ok signal.

1490 18.9 0401 HC0171 E Santa Maria Azocues överraskande bra med tanke på att jag hade 255-gradersantenn, men Bio Center-reklamen från Monumental på 1510 gick nästan som en lokalstation samtidigt. JE
