Loggings from Fredriksfors after Xmas.

A few words about the antenna park at our listening shack. They are:

300 degrees beverage, approx. 1 200 metres
317 degrees beverage, approx. 1 000 metres
90 degrees beverage, approx. 800 metres

A few beverages are of a two-wire design which means they can be used in two different directions:

345 and 165 degrees beverage, approx. 700 metres
285 and 165 degrees beverage, approx. 800 metres
255 and 75 degrees beverage, approx. 900 metres
240 and 60 degrees beverage, approx. 800 metres

This gives us 11 different directions but that doesn't help much when conditions are poor. Also, we are often having severe local electrical interference, especially on the 317-beverage. Sofar the source of these disturbances has not been located.
There is also one delta loop designed for 60 metres SW plus one G5RV dipole antenna.

As I live quite far from the shack (some 350 km's) I am not able go there very often. Here are some loggings from just before the end of 2008.
