Dear Warren,

I have listened around 506,5 kHz and 507 kHz last night and this night
until 00.10 UTC but heard nil, sri, just a beacon "Z" on 507,1 kHz.

I guess I should have been located at the coast of western Europe to
hear WE2XGR/2 and WE2XGR/6.

Even on GM4SLV's grabber I have seen just a few dots on 507 kHz.

But heard GI4PDE beaconing with interruptions around 23.52 UTC on 501,4
kHz, RST 579 with QSB.

And at 00.23 UTC I heard G3KEV calling VE1ZZ on 502,6 kHz, RST 569 but
also with deep QSB.

Already around 16.00 UTC I heard G3KEV with good signal in QSO with
GM4SLV, but at this time his signal has had a rather long QSB period.
GM4SLV remained unheard, but I have got that he has repaired his MF
aerial.

Now, at 00.30 UTC, I go to bed.

73 Ha-Jo, DJ1ZB in JN68GN, eastern Bavaria.
