Two short and patchy openings in the early evening. Around 17.00 UTC a reflection area developed over southern Hungary and when this one faded out an area over the Netherlands took over. At some point it looked if the MUF over JO21 reached >300 MHz but there was some mixture of real Es and tropo as some G-stations have such good take-off to the south-east that JN49/JN59 is within normal reach.
Es center too south and too far from the direct line path. Only 3 minutes activity hrd. Reports really sporadic from 59 to 0 and in a rather short time - I'd also miss a 3nd YO ham
Strong opening to OK / OM on 70MHz for some hours before + OIRT FM broadcast stations.

I heard stations just a small distance to the north of me working into SP and OK but nothing at all heard here.Waited on .300 and Piotr appeared out of the noise...opening lasted 1min max here.He was the only station heard and the only one worked
