If these same stations were active on CW at the time
you would get an instant QSO/REPORT ie real time
reporting on radio and not via Internet. What you were getting in some
cases were SWL reports via Internet since there are not 16 licensed
stations on 500 Khz.
You don't need WSPR to get a snapshot of band conditions,
just listen on any amateur band CW/SSB for a short time and you will
soon find out the propagation paths to various parts of the world and
engage in real time QSO'S
however, if WSPR is the chosen mode by some enjoy
it

Subject: LF: Re: 500kHz WSPR activity
1530-2300z today
Last night several stations were active in the UK and Europe on
500kHz WSPR.
Of the 10 unique reports of my 1mW ERP signal the best
report was from EI0CF (602km). I attach my reports summary for those
interested.
GM4SLV up in Shetland did better with reports from 16
different stations with his best DX report being 1317km with reports ranging
from France, Holland, Eire and Iceland.
Many people rubbish WSPR, but
this sort of activity gives an excellent "snapshot" of band conditions in a
way hard to achieve in any other way.
