Markus & Stefan
Just came back in the shack and saw your message.
For some reason WSPR still not sending spots to WSPRnet so here are my reports up to 20:00.

Stefan and I have decided that we want to continue the WSPR-8 test transmissions tonight, but we intend to QSY below the Eu slot after 20:00 UT. We will stay with the alternate time slots (DK7FC at 0, 20, 40 minutes, DF6NM at 10, 30, 50 minutes), but will both use the same transmit frequency 136.164 kHz (RF, not dial). We hope that this will ease the task for possible stateside receivers. Existing monitors will not have to restart the batch script, but only change the audio frequency in the little SndInput window.

sorry, only just started the RX before 7 UT. So here's your decode, delayed by 10 minutes...

The offset was shown as DT = -0.5 so timing is perfect.
As you said, slow DX work should be split band. From here I would send close to the Eu slot, for example in a 10 Hz subband from 136.155 to 136.165 kHz. And perhaps 137.765 to 137.775 kHz for TA west-to-east, which would be in a DCF39 gap. This setup would also allow to merge the accelerated output with the "normal WSPR" band 137.4 to 137.6 kHz.
