Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 23 -27 - Boring conditions

On April 23rd. I had changed to 285 degrees antenna, but it didn't get any better. Rather worse. A couple of Peruvians at 00, a few more (1180, 1350, 1449, 1470, 1500, 1570) at 02. Ideal 1130 most of the night. But nothing for a log.

24th. was probably actually even worse overall than the night before. It was at 02.30 that a handful of Peruvians came through legibly and showed that it probably wasn't the antenna that was at fault anyway...

25th. Bahamas 1540 was almost the only one producing a legible signal. A few "mumbles" could also be heard. It probably wouldn't have been quite as bad if I had the 255-degreer connected, because there were clear carriers on several plits that I'm convinced came from Brazil or La Plata...

26th. and another night of disappointment. I had hoped that there would be some Andean signals during the few hours that the early sunrise allows, but not a single such signal this night either. A couple from Brazil at 00, otherwise an occasional one from Puerto Rico etc.

27th. actually went R Carraviz 1570 at 02.30 and half an hour before there were probably Melodia on 1220 and Sicuani on 1360. Otherwise a little mumbling on some frequencies, but nothing that could be made out, and nothing to indicate that it would have been interesting if it had been heard better...
