Heard in Fredriksfors Dec 18 - 20 - most from Brazil and Colombia

On December 18^th. I switched to a more southerly antenna (255 degrees) when the forecasts said it was probably really bad for NA at the moment. The result was somewhat surprising – a lot of Brasilians, several with nice strengths was expected, but very few La Plata signals. Instead surprisingly a lot against Colombia but also the West Indies and above all Puerto Rico.

19^th.same antenna and roughly the same picture – Brasilians, but bad against la Plata and instead Colombia and Puerto Rico but also against the Andes. In fact, some NA also loomed towards the sunrise. The antenna has therefore taken considerably wider than usual, while the splatter from Europeans has been very strong both nights

20^th. I had gone back to 285 degrees - noticeably stronger disturbance fog there as it is directed towards Delsbo community only 2-3 km away. A lot of signals this night, but many were weak and above all that I could already tell from the split of the carrier that it was not "interesting". Few that I needed to spend time on, even less I could get something out of. Mainly Colombia, after 05 more and more NA but then later the noise also became too strong.4/12 it was the North Americans who dominated - many with very good strength. It was best at 03 – 04. At 06.30 the Colombians became more and more numerous and above all much stronger on the upper part of the band.
