Rather good signals from the Brazilian and some Puervian stations on the tropical band (included 3255, 038 with 6 do Agosto in Xapuri with football.

ARC Newsflash: Sjenica 1602 kHz
On 1602 kHz, July 19 at 2000 UTC a station came up with a Radio Beograd –ID. This was the 1 kW outlet at Sjenica, situated far south near the border of Montenegro. I also checked 882 kHz for Podgorica in Montenegro but without results. They are reported to having reduced their power below the nominal 5 kW. (Bengt Ericson, Växjö, Sweden/ARC)

Summer loggings from the Radio Shack
Fredriksfors July 16th.
For the first time in more than 3,5 month I tried the airwaves in Fredriksfors again (together with Rolf Larsson). Well, it was perhaps as expected (in other words rather lousy).The visits earlier this summer has been to stock up firewood for the coming season. And more is to come, we hope another good season...In the afternoon July 15th there had also been a club meeting for DRAK where mainly the hams had talked about their antennas and BBQ.When I arrived at a later hour only Rolf Larsson was left, and we started to listen after sunset.Up to 23 UTC there were no sign of Brasilian or other TA-signals. On 1566 I looked for the Italian but there was TWR Benin very dominant.Start again 01 UT with a slight ”top” around 02 UTC. Signals on several channels but most of them very weak. Except from the identified ones these could be mentioned: 920 (presumed Paraguay), 950 (Argentina?), 1130 (Spanish with news), 1180 (Rebelde?), 1290 (YV or Murialdo?), 1390, 1400 (religious, could be Harbour Light), 1470, 1500, 1620 (Argentina?).
