This was the trailing end of the recent tropospheric conditions. Sweden was a nice surprise. I was lucky to catch this. The morning of the 30th just happened to coincide with a sleepless night on my part, so I took a quick look on the radio to see if anything was coming in. Signals were mostly very weak, however.

Good DX!
