Heard in Fredriksfors Dec 26 . 31 - last for the year with Peru

December 26^th.some weak Brasilians at 22 UTC, then not much until after 00. Quite a few Latin Americans but most far too weak to identify.

27^th.got even worse. Decent strengths on an some Brazilians at 00. Then at 02 and a few hours ahead mostly NA as well as some Cuba, Puerto Rico and Colombia. Would probably have been better strengths (but also more noise) if I had connected the 285-degrees antenna.

28^th. I switched to 285 degrees and the conditions followed. But it is hardly noticeable on the log. There was a small opening towards Peru around 00 UTC, but then it was mostly NA. Many with good strength. But there was nothing there that I did not expect, only what is almost always heard.

29^th. during the early night it was mainly North Americans but with weak signals. A few minutes around 00 UTC there was then an opening against Peru at the highest part of the band and with in several stations with surprisingly good signal. Otherwise still mostly NA. After 01, the NA stations became fewer and in many cases even weaker. There was some added from Colombia and Cuba, but they didn't go well either, and hardly anything was then enough to really get through our high noise level.

30/th. I had changed to 255 degrees. Not good. Some of the more common NAs were heard early and continued fairly steadily. Only at 03 UTC some LA signals came, but it was not southern, as should be expected, but eg Dominican Republic (1430), Venezuela (1450), Colombia (1470), Ecuador (1610 – as a local station).

On 31^st. I apparently missed most of a hot openening against Peru because I had the 255 degree plugged in. Now it was so good that it also spilled over a bit on my antenna, especially between 1470 and 1600 but where I had better signals two nights before. Otherwise, nothing of interest during the last night of the year - insofar as there were any signals at all.
