Heard in Fredriksfors Nov 15 - 19 - disturbed but also surprises

November 15^th. and again a night without anything in the log. There was a mixture of eastern Canada and the USA, some from Puerto Rico as well as Venezuela and Colombia, but most of it far too common or too weak (usually both).

Nov 16 even a little better, but still very bad A little feeling towards Colombia in particular at 02, but already shortly afterwards there were weaker and fewer signals again.

17^th. good, in some cases even very good signals from Venezuela on 1130, 1320, 1420, 1450, 1490, 1510, PR 1160 at 01. Otherwise nothing. Couldn't believe that an hour later I would (following a tip from SGD) find a Guatemalan on 1480 After 03 barely even a carrier wave from the other side of the Atlantic

18^th. we were back at the bottom again. Weak carriers, some barely perceptible with sound. At 07 WKBK "decent" on 1520 - otherwise nothing.

Nov 19 was a long session in Fredriksfors, starting already at dinner on the 18th. But I hadn't expected such a strong disturbance that messed it up. The afternoon produced hardly any Asians at all - not until 16 UTC Mostly India and China - but also Australia on1548! I also made a quick detour to the 345 degrees antenna and to my surprise, KBRW was doing great on 680 and Svalbard on 1485. But an hour later Iran and Southeast Europe had completely taken over. The night was black – except for bright moonlight and the aurora borealis. Much more and stronger transatlantics than the last few nights, but the noise from the aurora and to unrecognizability distorted ("cracked") signals destroyed. Not until after 06 did the signals become a bit cleaner, but then nothing interesting.
