Heard in Fredriksfors Dec 10 - 14 -"Best" from Brazil

On December 10th. I realized early that it was wrong to have the 255-degrees antenna connected. Apart from some too weak ones from Brazil, it was Dos Mil 1500 that was on at 00. Fragments of the national anthem on 1130 at 03, a little mumbling on 1230 and 1270 were what reminded me of La Plata. Some weak probably Colombians, Harbour Light 1400 – and then actually a decent ID from HIAK on 1440...

On 11th. Harbour Light was alone for a long time. Judging by the splitters, quite a few La Plata stations at 03 but too weak. Ñandutí 1020 was an exception with a readable signal. Also Caribbean Lighthouse the night before fire number two in the transmitter. At 04 Paraguay 920 and R Nacional Brasilia 980, then far too noisy.

12th. good against Brazil especially 23 – 00. Some La Plata stations also came, but also with worse strength and gradually fewer stations. Hardly anything at all after 03.

13th. and still "the best" signals from Brazil but also still some Spanish-speaking southerners. However, the signals came one or two hours later than the day before. 04 was mostly gone, but then suddenly CBI went on 1140. Then there was no more audible signals, except for Colombians on 1560 and 1580 at 07.

14th. it sounded quite promising with Brazil, but also Paraguay (920, 970), "both" Argentina on 1270 etc already at 23. But it never really took off. At 03, Peru surprised (despite the fact that I was running 255 degrees) with good ID on 1220 (Melodia), but also 1180, 1360, 1500, 1570.. At 06, conditions had become even trickier – WWKB 1520 and KXEL 1540 were distorted, Colombia on 1580, 1589 and Bolivia 1560.
