We had decided to try JT9 attempts early in the window but also just 
before European sunrise, starting at 0530z. Conditions were not good 
early but during the night WSPR signals came up to very good levels.

NO3M and myself were calling CQ. I saw PA0A call CQ a little higher 
up and moved up to work him. Albert sent me a report but then lost 
my signal and completed with NO3M. Albert's signal peaked -20 during 
that time. A little later I had him at -13 on WSPR. A few minutes 
later I found him calling CQ on JT9 again. We were able to complete 
a QSO but his signal was never better than -22.

I saw a weak signal on my CQ frequency a few times but could not 
decode it. Could this have been OR7T calling me? Rik had reported 
that he heard me several times.

Even with better conditions and good peak signal levels, QSB was a 
major problem... still quite deep with short peaks. I do not see how 
QRSS at any speed could have survived this.

Note: I had some problems with my internet service during the night. 
I've just seen that not all of my WSPR spots were uploaded.

Would anyone like to try tomorrow morning?
