Heard in Fredriksfors May 3 - 7 - 15 minutes from the Andes

May 3^rd. I started recording again. However, huge disturbance and a 285-degree antenna were not a good combination and there was absolutely nothing to listen to.

4^th. and still miserable. Harbour Light 1400 at 00, otherwise occasional carriers with weak murmurs pointing towards Brazil or La Plata.

5^th. and for the third day in a row not a note for the log!

6^th. no recording

7^th. After 01.15 a short opening towards Bolivia and Peru on higher frequencies. Otherwise hardly anything at all.

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 24 - May 2 - - some Peru, some La Plata, some NA...

The nights are getting short now and soon the season will be over. It is
already bright well before 02 UTC and sunrise a little over half an
hour later

April 24^th. I thought I had missed the recording, but when I was going to delete files I found it missorted. But it could have easily been gone – there were extremely few stations. Some from Brazil + Monte Carlo at 00, then some La Plata stations, albeit too weak at 02 – 02.30 and then there was also weak from Colombia on e.g. 1580, 1590.

25^th. and some weak signals from Brazil during the first hours of the night. A small opening towards Peru, even though I used 255 degrees, just before 00. Then it continued south and then with a peak at 02 – 02.30 with Uruguay and some Argentina. Very bad on the lower part of the band.

26^th. looked to be really bad for a long time with some weak ones from Brazil. At 02 and with a peak a few minutes after TOH, however, a lot of Andean stations were on high frequencies, even though the 255-degree antenna is not the best option at that time. By 02.30 most of it was gone, only a few Colombians remained

27^th. no recording

28th was completely different on the band, but not better for that. At 00 – 00.30 there were some Peruvians like 1549.819 1469.983 but also Puerto Rico 1580, Colombia and Venezuela, even CBI on 1140, a little later also WDEA 1370. But nothing particularly good. Quite a lot of signals until 02.30 but also a lot of splatter and also some thunderclaps. This is after I switched to 285 degrees.

29^th. some Peruvians on high frequencies just before midnight, when Harbour Light also came on 1400. After 02 almost only NA, although most were too weak until half an hour after sunrise.

Apr 30 - May 2nd. nothing recorded

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 20 - 23 - a few from La Plata

April 20^th. and a new attempt with the 285-degrees antenna in hope of, for example, Andean signals. No audible signal from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Some carriers and a faint murmur on a few frequenciesmainly at 02.30 – 03 was all.

21^st. as bad as the night before. Single carriers, not a single signal that could be deciphered.

22^nd. and back to 255 degrees. The first from Brazil already at 22 and then onwards. Some La Plata was added from 01 and for a little over an hour, but well before 03 almost everything was gone.

23^rd. and significantly more stations but unfortunately also a heavy splatter of Europeans this night which ruined some interesting signals. Quite unstable and in addition to the southern signals, a few Peruvians appeared, and some occasional Colombians. Good strengths especially against Uruguay at 02.30 such as 1240, 1340, 1360, 1370, 1400,

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 15 - 19 - not much got through

April 15^th. No recording.

16^th. could have easily remained unrecorded as well. Some regular from Brazil off and on during the night the night and already from 22, Argentina 870 at 23, 1230 and 1270 at sunrise. Probably Caribbean Lighthouse 1160 at 02. Nothing at all on high frequencies.

17^th. did not give anything either. A first Brazilian(1350) at 01, At 02 some regular ones from Brazil and Argentina. At 03 there were then a few more signals, now also on high frequencies (like 1340, 1430, 1470, 1480, 1600) but far too weak.

18^th.. First audible station this night was Difusora Acreana on 1400 at 23 UTC. "Gossiped" that there was probably a Peruvian opening in progress, and that I should have had 285 degrees, Already at 23.30 1510, 1550 were heard and "known Peruvian signals" were also on 1360 (Bethel), 1470 (Voz Cristiana) 1480 (Espinar NegaMix even weaker), 1500 (Santa Rosa), 1570 (Carraviz), 1600 (Athena) and some even weaker. At 02 a mixture of "known" stations from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, most of them very weak, then it quickly got worse and at 03 there was barely a carrier left.

19^th. there was not much to listen to until just before 03. Then some from Uruguay, in particular, started to come up on higher frequencies, but several also with heavy fading. And only for a quarter of an hour or so. A few other southern stations could also be nptoced at that time, but most of them were too weak

April 10^th. I thought it was time to try 285 degrees again. A total failure. First out (and alone) at 01 was Caribbean Lighthouse 1160. Maria 1450, Carraviz 1570 at 0130, Ideal 1130 02 and two too weak (Colombia?) on 730 and 780 at 03. Not even WEGA 1350 with clear signal..

11^th.and even worse. There was not a single readable transatlantic signal all night. Hardly any visible carriera.

12^th. and still a good deal of blank on the band. Caribbean Lighthouse 1160 weak at 01, then relatively decent signals from what was probably Dif. Acreana 1400 and Carraviz 1570 at 03.30.

13^th. a few more signals from about 02 and over sunrise at 03.30 UTC. But there were some of the most common ones from Brazil and Argentina that could be recognized despite my 285-degrees antenna.

14^th. and after four nights of total "drought" I switched to 255 degrees again and at 01 stations with readable strength started to come in again, mostly from Argentina, Uruguay and Parag,uay. Most were still too weak, however. Better strengths (and more interesting) from 03 and a few minutes past sunrise.

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 5 - 9 - signals from Argentina and Uruguay

On April 5^th. I went back to the 255 degree antenna and it got better, although it is not noticeable in the log. Especially from 00 – 02 there were many stations from Brazil and Argentina but only the usual ones that I managed to identify.

6^th. started promising with good strengths from some Brazilian stations at 22 – e.g. Rural 1470 which continues to slip around (1470,028 now) and Jacuípe 1500 - but already on 23 it was worse. Again at 02 did some signals start to appear again mainly Argentina and Uruguay but noisy and unstable although noisy and unstable in the beginning.

7^th. about the same stations as the night before but almost all significantly weaker. At 03.30 suddenly some strong NA on high frequencies (1430, 1500, 1520, 1550 e.g.) with distorted sound. And so I finally managed to catch Chichester Hospital on 1431 – last chance to get anything new from the UK?

8/th and “almost nothing”. Some of the most common from Brazil, but not good. At 03 suddenly quite good signals from some Argentines (1160, 1190, 1230, 1270, 1350). Otherwise a bit of mumbling and a lot of splatter.

9^th. some weak and noisy signals from Brazil and Argentina early. Better at 03. Above all it was Argentina and Uruguay that went up to, and partly past, sunrise.

Heard in Fredriksfors Mar 31 - Apr 4 - Is it the protons´fault?

March 31st. Is it the protons' fault?

I changed the antenna to 285 degrees. Either the conditions were absolutely terrible for it, or it is faulty... If it hadn't been for some strong Europeans, I would have thought it was not plugged in. WEGA 1350 was actually on at 01 and at 02 a "rattling" signal could be detected, probably from Monumental 1510. From just before 03, however, it would hardly have mattered if anything had been heard, because then there was far too much noise across the entire band...

April 1st. and with a good dose of irony it can be stated that the conditions were much better this night. At 02 what was probably Dif. Acreana 1400. Around 0230 then some Peruvians that RFK tipped off about, but only on high frequencies.

2nd. and even a little better, at least more... Now there were quite a few carriers already 23 and some West Indies also with weak sound. 01 glimpsed Ideal 1130 and 02 really good signal on Maria 1220, but also some other more common ones could be perceived.

3rd. and nothing for the log. At 00 Caribbean Lighthouse started going well on 1160, Brazil on 610 and 740. And before 01 there were signals from Paraguay on 920 and 780, Argentina on 750 and 870 where Puerto Rico took over. PR also on 580, 940, 1070,1120, 1230, 1280, 1320, 1350, 1480 and 1520 until 02 when the signals got worse.

4th. worse again. Some regular Colombians at 01 – 02 but far too weak or only with a “known” carrier

March 26^th. and a lot of signals from Brazil at 23, an hour later also some from Argentina and Uruguay. But then it gradually got worse. Some of the most common continued to go for another hour or so but got worse and worse. Towards morning the band was almost empty.

27^th. offered about the same stations as the night before. Only with the caveat that almost all of them went a couple of shades weaker than the night before. And after 02 there was really nothing left to listen to.

28^th. and even slightly weaker signals with a small opening at 02. 04 it was mostly weak Colombians to the extent that anything was heard at all.

29^th. Some from Brazil at 22 – 23 but then it became quite weak signals. Still some from Brazil and the most common from Argentina, but not very good, was what was heard.

On 30^th. the 285-degree antenna would probably have been better than the 255. Very weak signals in the first few hours where really only the Argentines on 790, 870, 1190, 1230 and 1270 were doing reasonably well. A lot of noise too. At 04 there was morer “life” on the band – but mostly Colombia and Venezuela Monumental 1510 as "local radio" A couple of Peruvians.

At and just before 03 Eritrea on both 840 and 950, weak from Caribbean Lighthouse 1160, Noti Uno 1280 and WEGA 1350. But that was probably all!

On 21^st., my antenna choice (255 degrees) did not agree with any conditions either. Very quiet again on the band. Now some common Colombians and Puerto Ricans actually went so far that it could be called "signals" at 03.

22^nd. I went out to Fredriksfors in the early evening with hopes for Asia. Ok so it was wrong. By 17 UTC a few Asians were leaving decently, but there were quickly only a few of the more common Chinese and Indians left, which also quickly disappeared with a heavy disturbance that came rather unannounced. Already at 21.30 quite a few Brazilians but most of them too weak. After 00 football night with world cup qualifying Uruguay - Argentina, but already after 01, the disturbance had almost completely "turned off" the mediumwave band.

23^rd. it sounded promising with both Brazil and La Plata, but most of it was too weak, Instead Colombia and Venezuela started to arrive after 02 but only enough that they "disturbed". Despite the 255 degree it then went further north and by 04 it was more frequent NA on high frequencies. And overall another unsuccessful night.

24^th. it was finally a bit more fun to listen, even if it wasn't a top night. Above all around 02 there were some La Plata stations and that lasted until after 04.

On 25^th., a row from eastern Brazil already at 10 pm when A Voz do Brasil was about to start. An hour later also some of the more common ones from Argentina (870, 1190, 1270), Paraguay (780,970) and Uruguay (930) as examples. At 02 again a slightly wider opening towards La Plata and some from Brazil that persisted until towards 04. As usual now bad on high frequencies.

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...

Heard in Fredriksfors Mar 5 - 9 - much better than lately

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.

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...

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.
