Well on Friday night I couldn't hear one single American station . . . even
though I heard a couple of Southern Europe stations working a few.
Saturday night conditions were better, but signals were well down on what
they have been for the past few weeks.
However, in the 3 hours I spent on the band (at different times in the
night) I did manage to work 61 American stations . . . including a few in
Brazil and the Caribbean.
For future reference, here in Britain there are about 6 Navigation Beacons
between 1810 and 1818 kHz (they sound like the old Decca HiFix) . . . these
make copying weak signals VERY difficult, so a good idea to avoid this part
of the band !
