Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 25 - 29 - almost nothing

November 25th. was close to the “absolute bottom”: A Spanish-speaking woman with no ID was persistently talking on 1480 at 00. Radio Buenos Aires with national anthem 1350 and Harbour Light 1400 03, and at 06 WEGA 1350, Harbour Light 1400, possibly Monumental 1510 and WKBK(!) 1520 07 UTC.

26th. nothing recorded.

27/11 there was quite a lot of signals, especially from Argentina and Uruguay, from just before 00 to a little after 01 UTC on the upper part of the band. However, most of them were too weak for ID. Then there were mainly a few stations from Brazil that came through audibly for a couple of hours. Hardly anything that lasted until morning.

28th. there were about the same stations as the night before, but even slightly weaker signals. At 07, however, it had partly swung and the best (only) signals were instead the Peruvian Santa Rosa 1500 and the Ecuadorian Monumental 1510.

29th. I had gone from 255 to 285 degrees. But that didn't help. A small opening at 02 with Puerto Rico and Colombia but nothing of major interest. Caribbean Radio Lighthouse 1160, which suffered a fire in a capacitor in the transmitter less than a week ago. and since then apparently runs irregularly and with reduced power, went great in parts this night.

Hello DX-friends. 

My name is Peter Stillberg (PSG), member of Delsbo Radioklubb, Arctic Radio Club (ARC) and The Swedish DX Federation (Sveriges DX-förbund, SDXF). I'm also one of the DX:ers using Fredriksfors as my listening shack together with Jan Edh (JE), Dan Andersson (DAD) and Ronny Forslund (RFK) as active DX:ers. We don't compet, but cooperate and encourage each other in our listening hobby. Mostly we hear the same stations, but sometimes we have different experiences, perhaps the equipment has failed, we have used different antennas or other circumstances (for instance better skills by experience) giving different results. 

Here are some of my loggings from 2025-11-22 - 2025-11-23. Before my signature I also give the direction in degrees of the antenna used.

Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 21 - 24 - some Canadians but disapointing

November 21^st. was not good at all. I started early afternoon on the 20^th. with hopes of Asia. A few Chinese at 17 UTC, otherwise nothing, was the disapointing result. The night was not much better. Some strong Colombians on high frequencies at 02, then NA with good strengths but severe fading and very distorted signals until 04, then mostly just noise that drowned out the remaining signals.

22nd. for some reason nothing recorded.
23rd. I thought the sun had calmed down and 317 degrees could give something. Another in a long line of misstakes. For most of the night it was mostly noise and crackling and the occasional weak East Coast NA, even a couple of Puerto Ricans and Colombians, which showed that I had chosen the wrong antenna. Towards the morning actually the old faithful KBRW and later also several from Canada, especially from SK/AB.

24^th. similar opening towards northwestern Canada but this night especially at 02, much worse and much noisier towards the morning. Disappearingly few signals from the US side of the border (1000, 1130,1160, 1540).

Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 17 - 20 - better times to come?

November 17th. continued to be woefully poor conditions. Hardly any signals at all, at least none that there was reason to fight for an ID on.

18th. there was more activity on the medium wave – but not quite as I thought. In the lower part there were a few from Btazil plus the occasional Argentina and Paraguay, roughly as expected, but not good. In the upper part, however, signals from Bolivia were surprising, also some Peruvians and Colombia. Unstable and noisy.

19th. even a little better on the upper part of the band. The great joy was of course Honduras on 1340 – admittedly so weak and noisy that I would not have had a chance to find it if I had not had the help of Sim's recording. Also a first NA in a long time (1550).

20th. it seemed like someone had put a wet blanket over the 285-degree antenna. There were "lots" of signals during most of the night, mixed Colombia and east coast NA but also some other usual LA. However, nothing exceeded "mumble level" in strength and at best you could tell whether English or Spanish was being spoken. Possibly a little better at 06 on high frequencies, for example Carraviz 1570, Uniminuto 1580 and BBN 1590 were cominh up then if I could wait a bit for an id...

Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 12 - 16 - "A different listening experience"

November 12^th. offered “a different listening experience". At 00 1400 Zorilla de San Martin was already heard unexpectedly well, other southern signals also on e.g. 870, 920,930,950,970, 1070, 1130,1230, 1270. But not long later the signals were blown away, as was most of the interference. The band was almost empty and only a little "rattling". At first I thought the antenna had suddenly broken, before I realized that it was then that there was a solar storm with almost K9. The rest of the night it was barely possible to hear even the strongest Europeans!.

13^th. the Europeans were back almost as usual, so was much of the interference. Brazil on 940 was the only transatlantic that made it all the way here. Some far too weak carriers could also be glimpsed.

14^th. significantly more stations were heard. At first with La Plata and someone from Brazil, but after 03 the place started to have some more from Brazil but also Colombia. At 05 several strong Colombians (despite 255-degree antenna) on high frequencies but also some more common Peruvians (mainly from Lima)..

15^th. I assumed that the disturbance had passed and switched to 285 degrees. The only thing I heard was a very strong noise and crackling, which the very few stations I could “see” couldn´t break through. A little less interference towards the morning but still no signals.

16^th. and quite similar to the day before, possibly a little less noise. This night Harbour Light 1400 could also be heard off and on and Ay 07 R Buenos Aires 1350 also came with a fairly strong signal..

Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 7 - 11 - very disturbed, but some La Plata ,ade it

November 7^th. it looked like it would be "blank" for a long time. A few weak ones from Brazil and Argentina could be sensed. At 04, however, there were suddenly some fairly strong La Plata stations on the lower part of the band. But only briefly

11^th. weak stations from Brazil at first but especially around 03 some Argentina and Paraguay were on low frequencies, while there was too much noise and very weak signals on the upper half. However, by 04 most of the signals were gone...

9^th. fairly similar conditions as the nights before except for 03. Then some weak signals from Colombians also appeared on the upper half of the band.

10^th. fewer from Brazil, instead some early ones from Puerto Rico and Colombia on the higher part of the band, even though I had 255 degrees. At 02 some stations from Uruguay, worse towards Argentina. Gradually the noise increased sharply on the higher part of the band, quite interference-free on the lower but hardly any signals either.

11^th.. slightly better signals on the upper half of the band and especially then at 01 and an hour ahead with a "feeling" towards mainly Uruguay. Very weak morning again.

Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 4 - 6 - "old times listening night" in solar storm

November 4th. A bit of a “reverse” condition this night where I listened to 255 degrees, but during the “early” night had a couple of Peruvians among other things. Then increasingly “expected” La Plata, but mostly at very weak strengths. And then 1080 Monumental, which really went with “monumental” strength. However, it did not pull other Paraguayan stations that I hunt for decent sound from, such as 1250 and 1450.

5th. I switched to 285 degrees and it was probably not wrong, because what was heard was mainly Colombia, Puerto Rico and the occasional Venezuelans. The problem was instead far too much noise together with far too weak signal strengths. There were some carriers that could have been interesting if only there had been a usable signal.

On 6th. Dan Andersson and I had booked a "listening night like in the old days" in the shack. Full moon, the advance forecasts were not brilliant but at least ok, the stove was crackling, it smelled of coffee and buns. But oh how wrong it turned out. Huge disturbance. An afternoon and early evening check towards Asia with some of the most common super-strong Indians. At 22 Harbour Light could be detected on 1400 - but it soon disappeared. At 01 the most common from Brazil and some Argentina on frequencies below 1100, the higher ones were far too noisy. After 02 it only got worse...But a "live night" still has its charm, so there may probably be a repeat later – however, I don't like it with K-index 7...

Heard in Fredriksfors Oct 25 - Nov 3 - some good but also total failure

On October 24^th. and 25^th. I took a chance that it would be open to Asia, but I was wrong. Almost to the point that I doubt that I had connected the right antenna (255 degrees). A small opening at 18 25/10 and 15 26/10.

On 27^th. there was an opening to the western USA which coincided with me connecting 317 degrees. No "sensations" in the headphones, but still a nice variation in what was heard. Best around 03, then quickly got worse and towards the morning there were some regular east coasters and even a Colombian.

On 28^th. I still had 317 degrees and it didn't match the interference that came. There was some regular east coast but most of it with pretty poor strength.

29^th. a lot of regular Brazilians at the beginning, but then (especially around 03) mostly La Plata stations, where Paraguay came last in line at 05 when most of the others had become too weak.

30^th. – November 3^rd. nothing recorded due to “operating error” (I should have pressed an “OK button”...

Heard in Fredriksfors Oct 20 - 24 - just a few worth mentioning

October 20^th. and generally a really bad night, although some strong stations came through, mainly from Brazil, but also some from La Plata. However, the interference was overwhelming most of the time where the European spectrum completely drowned out the mostly weak signals.

21^st. hopes rose quickly. Even before 21, CFEB was going and then everything got better for more than an hour. But hey, how wrong I was. There was nothing more - the most common from Colombia like Uniminuto on 1430 and 1580 and Radio Maria 1220, some regular Puerto Ricans Radio Maria Venezuela 1450.

22^nd. I had the 285 degree antenna instead of 255. Mostly some Puerto Rico and Colombia, but also some Peruvian, although there was no real opening. At 03 also some NA but with distorted signals so that they mostly worked as interference. Towards the morning nothing interesting.

On 23^rd. it was mostly Colombia but nothing out of the ordinary. Quite noisy too. After 03 some NA but only the most common eastern.

24^th. and also this night there were many regular Colombians. At 02 some east coast NA also started to be heard and with a little cleaner signals than the last few nights - 03 they also got company from Ecuador, which felt more unexpected. From 03 east coast NA dominated but some Colombians were able to penetrate. 04 all NA were gone, after that there were only a few of the most common Colombians left.

Heard in Fredriksfors Oct 15 - 19 - Brazil and some La Plata

October 15^th. a lot of stations from Brazil were already going at 21.30 UTC, but then it was a disappointment. TheBrazilians became fewer and weaker. Instead there was a mix of stations from basically all of South America and Puerto Rico. But signals were far too weak for most of them and very few managed to penetrate the splatter.

16^th. also some early ones from Brazil. Then some more common Colombians and gradually also some Argentina, more towards La Plata in the morning but most of them far too weak.

17^th. the early ones from Brazil weaker than the last few days. At 01 some Colombians, including a strong one with football on 1140, probably Panamericana. At 04 some Peruvians from Lima where 1180 was the best, at 05 some Argentina but most of them too weak.

18^th. and really bad. A Brazilian that closed (1190) just before 10 pm was the only one worth taking to the log, A handful of regular stations went with decent strength during the rest of the night

19^th. Significantly better, more stations and not so strong interference. A lot of Brazilians, but also La Plata 23 – 00 several on "interesting" frequencies, but unfortunately almost all with football and no announcements. Already a while after 02, however, the signals weakened precariously.

Heard in Fredriksfors Oct 9 - 14 - disturbed, but also openings

October 9th. t here was a lot of crackling and "buzz" in Freedriksfors. The signals were generally quite weak and distorted. In other words, it was difficult to make out anything - most of what was heard seemed to be North American "Midwest". At 05 also good strength again against some Ecuadorians on 1400 and above.

10^th. there was a lot of noise but few signals from the other side of the Atlantic. Some regular Colombians could be detected. Also suddenly a lone Peruvian on 1020 at 05!

11^th. some more regular Venezuelans went early (1320, 1450, 1490, 1500) followed by some Colombians, but weak strength. At 03 (or a couple of minutes after...) some fairly western NA, surprising considering my antenna at 285 degrees. A short-lived "visit". An hour later, only KOTA at 1380 remained and shortly after that all transatlantic stations disappeared for this morning.

12^th. was a bit strange. The first station was from Paraguay (730) and first qy 00 UTC. Then pretty much empty until 05 when there were a lot of signals but quite "unsettled" and not much could be identified. Mostly La Plata, but also some Peru (1500, 1570 plus some carriers), Colombia (1580, 1590) etc.

13^th.. and another night with weak signals and strong interference. Not much came through in other words. At first it was only Brazil that was going but before 02 and a little over an hour also some La Plata stations, unfortunately mostly with football. After 03 the interference was still there but no stations...

14^th. and a little better signals. Above all it was Brazil that was going and already early. Gradually, a lot of La Plata also came, but the conditions were quite broad and some Colombians came in, but also some regulars from Peru and judging by the carriers also Bolivia. This also meant that it was "messy" on many frequencies. It then quickly got worse and after 03, "only" a few from La Plata left..

Heard in Fredriksfors Oct 5 - 8 - a few great minutes from Ecuador

October 5^th. was another night of “unnecessary” recordings. The remarkable thing was perhaps that Nacional Chile 1140 was glimpsed (although not ID) already around 9:50 PM. Carraviz 1570 went off and on throughout the night. RPP Pilcomayo 1140 (03) Bethel 1360 (02), Santa Rosa 1500 (04), Avance 1520 (03), all without ID but still a little better speed than the nights before.

6^th. also looked to be terrible. Some of the most common Colombians around 03 looked to be the “harvest” until it suddenly broke, at 05 on the high part of the band (1400 and above), with a number of Ecuadorians in strength like never before.

7^th. there was not a single North American signal all night. Puerto Rico and Colombia dominated without “shining”. Bad towards the morning.

8^th. Another night with too weak signals. Colombia but also some Peru and towards the morning also someone from Argentina. But very few reached the level where it was possible to get an ID. And again not the slightest signal from NA.

Heard in Fredriksfors Sep 29 - Oct 4 - total misfailure

On September 29^th. and 30^th. I had Asia on my mind again and recorded evenings. It turned out to be completely unnecessary. A couple of Indians went on 29^th. the following evening Thailand well on 891 at the close fowm at 17, but otherwise nothing!

October 2^nd.the interference had become very strong and 285 degrees was a misjudgment on my part. At the beginning of the night Harbour Light went on 1400 and probably CRL 1160 could be seen. At 03 probably Puerto Rico on 1350 and 1490. Otherwise no signals.

3^rd. The solar interference took away most of the signals this night. At 03 there were some weak signals, and some carriers, which indicated that it could have been exciting with 255 degrees instead of the 285 I had connected. Not even Harbour Light could be heard this night! Towards sunrise it was so bad that not even the few Europeans left could be heard.

4th. and finally a little better, but still not  good enough. Harbour Light was back on 1400 at 01, weak signals also from Argentina on 870 and 950. Then between 03 and 04 there was considerably more activity on especially the low part of the band, but too weak to be able to hear anything at all. Judging from known carriers it was mostly Argentina and Paraguay.

Heard in Fredriksfors Sep 24 - 29 - some good hours for NA

On September 24^th. I made another attempt against Asia – totally unsuccessful. There were some Indians early in the evening – all with a report of the cricket match between India and Bangladesh. Plus the occasional Chinese. On the other hand, the band was full of extremely strong Iranians.

25^th. was about the same, except that the Indians were fewer and weaker or not at all. Possibly a few more Chinese...

27^th. there were some Puerto Ricans early, but soon it was mostly NA. A few Colombians, otherwise only northern signals, but unfortunately also a lot of fading.

On 28^th. it opened up to NA and especially then the Lakes and the Midwest around 02 even though I was running with the 285 degree antenna. Only the most common pure east coast. But the pleasure was short-lived – well before 03 almost all NA were gone, and instead it was mostly Colombia and Puerto Rico but now noisy and sparkling. But after about half an hour most of it was gone there too, and the rest of the morning it was mostly a few regular east coast NA that made it through the noise.

29^th. the first daytimers of the season arrived. Not many and no sensations, but a clear indication that autumn is here. A lot of NA, many strong, also this night, but a lot of fading. Already at 03 most of them were gone again, instead there were a number of more common Colombians and a few from Puerto Rico who fought against an increasing noise.

Heard in Fredriksfors sep 20 - 24 -and still not wgat I looked for

September 20^th. nothing to add to the log – some regular West Indies, some Colombians and Peru on 1500 and 1570.

21^st. was not much better, few signals and a lot of interference. A few more common NA like WBT 1100, CFMB 1280 and KXEL 1540 on the 255 degree antenna..

22^nd. might have been ok with a different antenna. Now there were very weak signals, to the extent that anything was heard at all, from La Plata. It was about as bad towards Colombia and Peru. But KFNW 1200 appeared at 04 which suggests that the night might have been better with a more northerly antenna. At 04.30 quite good strengths (but distprted) on high frequencies, most likely Colombia but no Ids.

23^rd. a bunch of tentative Bolivians went on high frequencies already at 23– recognized on splits but nothing that could be IDed because I was still stubborn with my 255 degrees. Heavy splatter meant that very few stations could be Ided.

24^th. there were some Brazilians again during the early hours. Gradually more from Colombia but also Puerto Rico. and some Peruvian. Very few from La Plata, which was what I was hoping for. But also this night very heavy splatter from Europeans

Heard in Fredriksfors Sep 16 - 19- my hunt for La Plata failed

September 16^th. the conditions were really bad – at least for the antenna I chose (255 degrees). Absolutely nothing to log, hardly any stations at all from the other side of the Atlantic.

On 17^th. it was a little better, but very noisy. On many frequencies it sounded like someone trying to talk while frying pork on a very hot stove... There was no "order" to the signals either – they came in a bit of a mess from all over Latin America.

18^th. Colombia dominated together with Puerto Rico, but there were also a few Peruvians and the occasional La Plata, but nothing from Brazil. However, the noise gradually became overwhelming and after 03 there were very few who made it through legibly.

On 19^th. it was really bad again. I thought it was "blank paper" when a handful of Argentines and Greenland suddenly appeared at 03. In the meantime a little murmur sometimes on 1160, 1350 and 1400...
