I was active on receive and transmit from 2200 Saturday 8th to 0700 
Monday 10th (not always awake, of course) on the 136kHz band.

Unfortunately, bad QRN in mainland Europe killed most activity during 
Sunday evening, but it had partly cleared by the early hours of 
Monday.

There was more CW activity than I have heard for years, though ranges 
were predictably low compared to QRSS and especially Opera which 
proves to be very effective despite the QRN and provided all of the 
best DX. My QRSS10 calls went unanswered and my attempts at 
transmitting and receiving QRSS60 overnight also produced no results.

24 stations were either heard by me, worked by me or reported my 
signals (either by email or Opera).
They were in a total of 11 countries as follows (one station in each 
country except where indicated).
G (11), D (3), LA (2), GW, GM, F, PA, EW, EA, SV, R7. 

Thanks to Dave, G3YXM, for generating the interest in the tests on 
136 and 472kHz. 

Thanks also to all of those who came on the air and the many who took 
a listen on the band and reported their results. One person who 
received his first 136kHz signal this weekend described it at as 
"Best fun I've had in the hobby for years".
