Hello Jan,
The best I received Joe last night was -16 dB.
The signal was audible in mode USB and a bandwidth of 2.4 kHz
Though we live only 80 km apart as the crow flies, progagation can be very
different.
This is typical for MW and is often reported by MW DX-ers listening for
T/A broadcast stations.
This OP8 mode is very interesting in regard to propagation study!
Joe, this is what I logged last night:

I found that I am the only one who received TF4ME:
02:41 477 TF4ME de PA0RDT Op8 -26 dB F:45%_End in Middelburg
Is this a genuine catch or somehow a false decode?
