MF,

Very interesting, while the DST stuff (http://lasp.colorado.edu/space_weather/dsttemerin/dsttemerin.html) peaked down to -50nT and LF was nearly dead, there was an open path on MF between DL and the US west coast. Often we can find a quite small opening window on 630m for TA contacts, sometimes just 10 minutes or so, during sunset in the US. However last night the window was open until 6 UTC and then closed instantly. I took the chance and sent WSPR-2 in 33% mode and got a nice set of data for the attached SNR plot.

BTW congrats to the other stations for the good results!

73, Stefan/DK7FC
