Unfortunately, bad QRN in mainland Europe killed most activity during Sunday evening, but it had partly cleared by the early hours of Monday. There was more CW activity than I have heard for years, though ranges were predictably low compared to QRSS and especially Opera which proves to be very effective despite the QRN and provided all of the best DX. My QRSS10 calls went unanswered and my attempts at transmitting and receiving QRSS60 overnight also produced no results. 24 stations were either heard by me, worked by me or reported my signals (either by email or Opera). They were in a total of 11 countries as follows (one station in each country except where indicated). G (11), D (3), LA (2), GW, GM, F, PA, EW, EA, SV, R7. Thanks to Dave, G3YXM, for generating the interest in the tests on 136 and 472kHz. Thanks also to all of those who came on the air and the many who took a listen on the band and reported their results. One person who received his first 136kHz signal this weekend described it at as "Best fun I've had in the hobby for years". de Mike, G3XDV
