Here in Germany I had some problems with the QRN last night.

Very good copy of VO1NA in QRSS30 0000-0515. For copying the 5wpm mode
the QRN was to high. Between 2200-2300z I captured something like a
digital mode on 137.777. I don't know what this was.

On 137779.0/779.2 I had a very weak copy of XES. Saw XES better in
May earlier this year.

On 137700 I saw QSOs OH5UFO/F6BWO and OH5UFO/M0BMU around 2000-2100z.
M0BMU was here around 32dB above the noise level. Outstanding signal!
