Heard in Fredriksfors Dec 24 - 28 - Bad conditions and storm

December 24^th. there were some weak signals from Brazil at 00. At 02 and a couple of hours ahead a little more southerly signals especially Argentina, but not particularly good. Bad towards the morning with some usual from Brazil weak at 07.

25^th. very poor signals, possibly with a little overweight for Colombia and Puerto Rico.

26^th.some Colombians and probably also Puerto Rico, most of it too weak to sort out. After 04 also a few NA east coast but blurred signals.

27^th. it was different, but not good. Almost no signals from Latin America all night. Instead NA, "best" between 00 and 03 but quite blurred signals and a lot of fading. After 04 nothing but noise.

28^th. nothing recorded due to power outage caused by storm “Johannes”. Very extensive damage was caused throughout the region, leaving us with fallen trees and torn antennas and, it seems, only one antenna (285 degrees with a backswing of 105) intact!
