Heard in Fredriksfors May 19 - 23 - time for summer vacation!

19th. there were some early from Brazil at 11 – 11.30 p.m., but then very few. Santa Rosa at 1500 only Peruvian heard, nothing from Bolivia.

20th. there were some signals at 01 with a "mixed diet" - Brazil on 1400, 1570 and 1600, Paraguay on 1450 and the Bahamas on 1540...

On 21st., not much was heard. Brazil at 1570 and 1580 an hour from 23, then the Bolivians at 1550 and 1560 at 00.

22/nd. some carriers but hardly any sound at all.

23rd. Brazil was heard on 1370, 1570 and 1580 at 23 while 1600 waited until 00.30 to go readable. Caranavi 1550 as usual best of the Andean signals at 00.30. Slightly better in general 00 – 01 but still too weak for it to be possible to produce anything interesting.

With that, I also turn off my gear for the season. With dawn just after 23:30 and sunrise before 01:30 UTC, it feels pointless to continue.

Summer vacation!

Heard in Fredriksfors May 13 - 18 - now really bad

May 13th. was improbably bad. Even the few Europeans who were heard did not have "decent" strength.

14th. much better, but thus far from good. At 00 – 00.30, however, the Bolivians and Peruvians from Sicuani on 1360 and above, which has been common for quite a while now, were heard. Before that also a few from Brazil. But the signal strengths were quite moderate.

15th. about the same stations as the night before – possibly a little weaker and a little earlier.

On 16th. "Time is out of order" I want to say. Never thought I would experience that the only Atlantic heard for a whole night would be a Bolivian. But Caranavi 1550 00 – 00.30 was the only readable signal this night,

17th. there were a couple of carriers that I recognized but no readable signals.

18th. a couple of Africans could be logged during the late evening, but then it stopped this night when a new disturbance struck. No signals from Latin America.

Heard in Fredriksfors Mat 8 -12 - good to the Andes and an "empty" band

On May 8th. there were the usual Bolivians for the season and already at 23.00 there were also some Peruvians. But while the Andean stations slowly faded away, a few Colombians came instead in the last hour before the band went silent at 01:30

9th. most (and best) signals came from Peru. Started cautiously already at 11 pm and at best between 00 and 01. The "regulars" from Bolivia also with good signal.

On 10th. both Peru and Bolivia were actually on the higher part of the imw-band despite the very strong disturbance. In several cases with nice strengths, although perhaps a little "fluttery" sound. But it was a short-lived pleasure – already before 00.30 the tband was empty from transatlantic signals..

11th. it was as close to "quiet" as is probably possible. At the beginning of the night Vesti FM on 1413 and probably Romania on 1179, although it was with very modest strength. But they soon disappeared too.

12th. the Europeans were back but not much from the other side of the Atlantic. Brazil on 1010 and 1350 at 00, probably Radio Buenos Aires 1350 after 01. Shortly and otherwise nothing!

Heard in Fredriksfors Apr 29 - May 7 - some short interesting moments

April 29th. was not a successful night. Sure there were a lot of Peruvians on the band, but most of them were either well known or they didn't want to come up well enough. Later the conditions got worse and some Puerto Ricans came instead.

30th. there were also some Peruvians in the hour until midnight. Then very few legible signals until before 02 UTC when some Peruvians started to go again, mainly from the Lima area, but also some hints towards La Plata, where my antenna, however, was too northern.

May 1st. gave nothing. Very few signals and very few with enough strength that it was possible to get an ID.

2nd. still lean. At 1.30 am, strangely enough (considering the time of year) a handful of NA. At 02 especially the Bolivians Caranavi 1550 and Tawatinsuyo 1500 almost improbably good, but hardly anything else.

3rd. Strange! Admittedly, I listened to 285 degrees (should have had 255 or 240) and it was a strong disturbance but something should have "leaked in" here as well. Not a single transatlantic signal all night, hardly even a carrier.

4th. the stations were also back in Fredriksfors, at least on the high part of the band. A lot of signals from Peru/Bolivia with peak 01.30 - 02 and where "as usual" Caravani 1450 excelled - most common and strongest on the band now.

5th. very few again but a small opening where the "regular" Bolivians on high frequencies went at and just before 02.

6th. barely even a carrier and nothing transatlantic that could even be tried to identify.

7th. some from Brazil at 11pm and an hour later Peruvians but not very good. Between 01 and 02 some Bolivians again.

Heard in Fredriksfors April 24 - 28 - sometimes really good

April 24th. there were very weak signals during the night. In addition to logged Tarma, what was probably Carraviz 1570 0030, Santa Rosa 1500 and Bienestar 1360 01 cch Caravani 1550 0230 were suspected.

25th. a lot of stations instead. Already at 23 there were a number of Brazilian stations with good strength and a few minutes later Peruvians started to arrive followed by Bolivians a few more minutes later. Several were also quite strong and lasted a long time. There were also some interesting Andean signals on e.g. 1270, 1290, 1330, 1450, 1460 with possibly sufficient strength but where the EU splatter was too difficult. Near sunrise, however, there were some signals from Puerto Rico and Colombia instead.

26th. like the day before some from Brazil and Peru already 23 and for a couple of hours Also some suspected Paraguay (1250, 1300, 1330, 1450). At 02 increasingly Colombia and Puerto Rico in the last hour of signals. And then a lone NA 01.58 - WDEA on 1370!

27th. suddenly nothing that can be taken to the log. Almost nothing audible at all and up to 02 also heavy splatter. Quieter in a double sense then until sunrise - the splatter subsided but no signals above "mumble level".

28th. several really strong Bolivians went on high frequencies half an hour before midnight (so 27th.) but strangely(?) nothing from Peru. Actually nothing else either and after about 01.30 no signals at all.
