Sorry Mal, nothing so far. The trace last night (if in fact it was
DK7FC) didn't show up until shortly before 0100 UTC and only lasted
20 minutes or so.
If you haven't seen it already it's here:

These things don't always happen at the same time every night. The
good news is that it seems to be a bit quieter tonight and Stefan has
kindly provided a better script for Spectrum Lab which includes some
noise blanking.
You can see what I am seeing here: http://www.nrtco.net/~ve2iq/grabs/
Stefan is making it into the Haifa LF grabber but not solid all the
time. Considering the distance from here to Heidelberg (some 6000 Km
and a good part over land) I wouldn't expect a whopping great
signal. I guess you're a little closer, perhaps 5300 Km? I am
keeping captures on disk, so if you decide to retire early maybe you
can just leave it running and we can check in the morning to see if
you got through? Oh wait, I am just starting to see a signal now
(2356z) on 136.172 so it looks like Stefan has turned up the wick. I
think that's him, so maybe propagation will be better tonight and
start earlier.

Hi Bill
Any sign of signals yet . I am blasting away on 136.173 qrs30. and can see
a trace on the YO grabber and an odd hit on the 4X1 grabber.
