In mid-May 2025, excellent signals were heard from Peru. Late in the evening of 16 May, I was able to track an initial opening using the 78-metre-long ‘Hari-Windom’ antenna, which had been unused for many years due to lightning protection and was only reinstalled last autumn, hanging at a height of over 20 metres. This antenna receives very strong signals across the entire mediumwave band, including, of course, many signals from Eastern Europe, which could be attenuated more effectively with a Beverage or K9AY antenna. But the good signal strength from South America made up for a lot.
