Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 10 - 14 - some La Plata 14th.

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.
