Steve, W3EEE's, real-time plot of DCF39 for last night shows the signal barely above the noise for only a short period around 0100z, and in the noise for the rest of the night. Brian's plots on the shorter path CT <> DCF39 show that the night-time path is depressed and subject to deep fading, but as a consolation the day-time path was enhanced by about 4 to 5 dB yesterday.
