Ed's signals were peaking at about S3 here. I also saw QRSS signals from EW6GB, OK2BVG, and RN3AGC. The station here was running about 800W into my usual inverted L, propped up to about 13m high in the middle. Due to some as-yet undiagnosed fault in the tuner (it was too dark and wet to do much about it), antenna current was a bit low at around 3A, and ERP was probably a bit less than 0.5W. The QRN level was quite low, which was helpful - Is it just me, or are the sidebands from DCF39 stronger at the top edge of the band than they used to be? Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
