Heard in Fredriksfors Feb 9 - 16 - not much enjoyable

On February 9th. there were actually some Andean signals at 23.30 and a bit past 24 (8/2), mainly some Peruvians, but also probably Bolivia (1500, 1560, 1590) Then mixed NA/LA (especially Colombia). Pretty good strengths but far too strong interference to be able to get anything.

10th. and possibly the interference was even worse, as the S-meter needed to show "7" to get a reasonably readable signal, and there are not many of those signals. At 00 some NA,Puerto Rico and Colombia, at 03 R Nacional Buenos Aires 870 was also going really well. Gradually more NA, the more common ones completely "audible". At 06 it had swung west, but the signals could no longer really make it through the noise.

11th. Puerto Rico was relatively good and then some from Venezuela with good strength, but also Colombia. Towards the morning more and more USA. At 05 also some carriers that I identified as coming from Peru – it would have been clearly exciting if the sound had managed to get through the noise.

12th. strong signals from some of the most common from Puerto Rico (680, 8780, 1070, 1350, 1480 for example) while Caribbean Lighthouse (1160) was going with such a signal that you thought that they already had a new transmitter up and running. Gradually also some strong NA east coast. Later in the night also more and more Colombians. As usual, however, far too strong signals were required for anything “interesting” to get through the noise.

13th. nothing recorded

14th. and the now ungrounded 255-degree antenna connected. Significantly lower (about 15 dB) noise and much wider loob, but also more splatter. Puerto Rico to start with, but then some stations from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay (= the antenna's "main target"). But towards the morning it was Colombia and Puerto Rico that dominated, but also some Peruvians and NA with good strengths.

15th. the solar disturbance took its toll. Some from Brazil at 23 – 00, but not very good. Then also some La Plata, but most of them even weaker.

16th. it was difficult to find any signals at all for a long time. Some from Brazil but weak and a lot of fading. Suddenly at 03 several of the Brazilian stations became stronger and there were also some Argentines and not only the most common ones, although that was nothing new to me either. Bad towards the morning.
