Heard in Fredriksfors March 5 - 8 - mixed result

March 5^th. I was back recording on the ungrounded 255-degreer but with rather poor results. At 01 some La Plata and brass on lower frequencies and where AM750 went "strangely well" to suddenly disappear without any announcement. Full 100 kW to low night power, or what? Later the occasional Venezuela/Colombia and towards the morning among others a couple from the Dominican Republic on higher frequencies.

6^th. it was WEGA instead of R Buenos Aires on 1350 - a sign as good as anything of completely changed conditions. A few occasional La Plata during the earlier part of the night. Then the 255-degreer was just "wrong" - it went some Caribbean (PR), some Colombia and Venezuela, even a NA (WQBA 1140), but everything was splattered, weak and bad.

7^th. I was still on what I thought was 255 degrees. But it soon became clear that the antenna repairs earlier in the day had indeed led to 285/105 degrees now working. But 255 degrees was instead the reverse direction 75 and 205 degrees gone. A little "consolation" though - I found a new Australian for me (1152)

8^th. Australia on 1152 also went this evening - otherwise much fewer Asians. Radio Six International's test from France "with one million Watts" went excellent of course even though my antenna was pointing in the wrong direction.
