Heard in Fredriksfors May 3 - 10 - a few short openings

May 3rd. there were a lot of strong signals from Peru and Bolivia already an hour before 00, especially on high frequencies. However, they faded out very quickly and the rest became less exciting with a mix of some regular ones from Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Colombia, but also a couple from Argentina.

4th. everything was different. Not even the carrier of the Bolivians that were eard with strong signnals the day before. A couple of the Peruvians, but at 01 when 1140 Nacional Chile and 1130 Ideal also went. 01 it was 1160 Olavarria and 870 Nacional, Buenos Aires,, at 02 1430 RPP Cusco as well as 1440 Santa Monica.

5th. was simply improbably bad. A "thin" signal for a couple of hours in the middle of the night from Harbour Light 1400. extremely weak from probably Radio Dos 1230 and Carraviz 1570 at 02. Otherwise hardly even a carrier that could be guessed from the other side of the Atlantic.

6th. not much better than the night before (if at all). Possibly stronger noise. Nothing new to the log.

On 7th. there were more and stronger signals again, but also more splatter on most frequencies. Again mainly Peru and Bolivia but a little later than what is usually the "best time". Now it was 02 to around 02.30 mainly.

8th. looked much better, when you checked the carriers, than it really was. The result was instead a big disappointment. Some quite strong from Brazil already at 22, despite the 285-degree antenna. Some Peruvians started going at 23.30, but it never really took off - some ordinary and with bad sound. Then after 01 it was Puerto and Colombia and then Venezuelan Ideal as the only one that went really well...

9th. was also a disappointment. More early from Brazil than the night before. Some "ordinary" from Bolivia were really good and also some from Peru at 00 - 00.30. Some from Brazil again at 01.30. But all had in common that it was very difficult to understand what was being said, even on quite strong signals, because the sound was very distorted.

10th. even a little worse. Some of the more common Peruvians at 00 – 00.30. After 01 some of the more common USA/Canada went from the northeast, some occasional Peruvian together with Uniminuto 1580 and Ideal 1130.

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 28 - May 2 - Mostly Andean, but too weak

On April 28th.there were some Andean stations from about 23.30 and over 00 UTC. Then fairly empty until around 02 and a while past 04 when instead it was eastern Canada and northeastern USA that surprised, although there was nothing unusual that was heard.

29th. a lot of activity on at least the upper half of the medium wave after 23 but most of the stations were too weak and disturbed to be able to get something out of the signals. At first it was mainly Peruvians on many frequencies but only shortly after 00 were most of them gone. Then mixed LA/NA but not many good enough.

30th. some weak Andean signals at 00 UTC, then a small opening again at 02 with a number of strong signals, but only on high frequencies. At 02.30 just before sunrise it then slipped south with some from Brazil and Argentina. Suspected Chile, but far too weak, on 1560 and 1570.

May 1st. nothing recorded

2nd. could have passed without recording too – a little chatter but almost no stations. 1430 RPP Cusco and 1360 Sicuani went well 02, 1400 Harbour Light and 1570 Carraviz decent 02.30, otherwise almost nothing.

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...

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 19 - 22 - rather bad nights

April 19th. throughout quite bad conditions. Some Brazillian stations to start with then also some La Plata, but moderate strengths and a lot of splatter. The increasingly bright nights also make a difference, 03 just before sunrise, it was already empty of signals.

20th. the antenna at 255 degrees was perhaps not my best choice. Weak signals from Brazil. At 00 a few Lima stations (1180, 1360, 1470, 1500) which probably went better if I had had 285 degrees. Weak Peruvia also 01, but then actually also some occasional ones from Argentina and even Chile on 1180. The signals remained this night at least a little over an hour longer than the night before, but weak signals where I did not get anything interesting out of it.

21st. it was really only at 02 and a half hours ahead that there was a little "speed". The most common southern stations got companionship. Even Chile came through, with a little bit of signal (but not much) on some other frequencies besides 1140. After 02.30 the signal strength dropped and after 03 almost everything was gone.

22nd. At 00 some Peruvians, but very weak (or in several cases just “known” carriers) that my antenna’s 255 degrees were not suitable for and were not worth trying to identify. At 02 – 03 some more southerly signals, but nothing that hadn’t been heard better earlier in the month

Heeard in Fredriksfors Apr 14 - 18 - short Peruvian openings

On April 14th. the solar storm had passed and I assumed it was time for a bit more northerly signals and switched to 285 degrees. It sounded unusually free of interference on it – but there were also unusually few signals. Only a few made it above the noise floor, and then of course even fewer that could be ID'd. That the Peruvian Los Chucos on 1180 would be one of the few was surprising.

On 15th. a bunch of Peruvians went at 00 UTC with really good strength. But it was apparently a fairly limited opening to Lima and Huancayo. Otherwise a pretty "uninteresting" night insofar as anything was heard at all. At 03 a bit more signals on high frequencies, e.g. some of the most common NA stations on 1500 and up.

On 16th. it got really bad. Almost only NA stations once something started to be heard towards 02 UTC. Poor strength, lots of noise, especially on the lower part of the band and by all accounts only the most common stations from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.

17th.much more interesting again. There was again a lot from Peru, some early but perhaps best strength and number at 03. Then there were also some NA and perhaps mainly from Florida.

18th. it was time for a strong solar storm againand I changed from 285 to 255 degrees. Maybe I was too fast? It did not give anything positive in any case. Not until 03 had the noise level dropped so much that the mostly weak signals could be distinguished. After sunrise at 03.30 it even sounded really good from some weak but fairly undisturbed Argentines. But nothing interesting.

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 9 - 13 - mosty on the low side

April 9th. quite sparse with signals. Some from Brazil and some La Plata stations but mostly weak and almost only on low frequencies.

10th. a little better than the day before but it was still only the low part of the band that "applied" and “only southern". A lot of fading and heavy splatter on many frequencies. Now it gets light early too - hardly a single transatlantic signal at 04 UTC..

11th. there were still southern signals, but not so pronounced towards the lower half of the band. Not so many Argentines left when it was time for the national anthem at 03,

12th. there were about the same stations as every night at some time already from 22 UTC onwards. And a lot of them had football on the program. But at 02 there were suddenly also the occasional Colombian and Puerto Rican, anr hour later some regular NA even though I was still listening to the 255 degree antenna on the upper half..

13/4 it was La Plata as early as around 22 on the low part of the band. On higher frequencies more interference but gradually also more interfereing signals from Puerto Rico, Colombia and even some Peruvian. Especially on low frequencies the signals were still there after 04 when my recording ended.

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 6 - 8 - "wrong" antenna

On April 6th. I thought the strong solar interference had passed and switched to the 285-degree antenna. It was a bad decision. Only a few signals that could be detected all night, nothing that shouldn't have been significantly better on 255 degrees. Hardly any carriers that shouldn't have been Brazil or La Plata.

7th. slightly better signals on part of La Plata (Argentina mainly) on low frequencies. Still very bad from "northern" areas. Ideal 1190 possibly broke the pattern of going decently.

8th. another completely unsuccessful night. Not until 02.30 did some signals start to appear, then primarily the usual ones from Colombia on higher frequencies. At 03.30 quite a few stations from Colombia and Puerto Rico but also Bahamas 1540, Monumental 1510 and Carravis 1570 for example. But a lot of fading and distorted signals. At 04 there was only the occasional Puerto Ricans left. Nothing whatsoever.
