Comment:
Opening started long before. But the reflection point was unfavourable for me. In the end, however, it was worth the wait. Signal came in with +12dB at it's best. At 16:58z the game was abruptly over.

In the beginning I heard nil, because my reflection zone was between 2 ES clouds.
Later signs were decodable with strong QSB.

Tom, SV8PEX , was vy strong on 300 here, but no one else copied.

Comment:
ES clouds were too close to IV3 area so just got two very brief openings, too short to complete any QSO in FT8. MUF was rather high around 16:45 UT, as stations with QRB down to 836 Km were heard.

Followed the MUF and .174 the whole day without any luck.
After late dinner I returned to shack and noticed that the MUF was high.
Saw SV and EA, managed to catch EB1B just before the band closed.
Despite fine tropo to IN88 (same direction) I guess this was pure Es?!

I was on business trip to Prague, CZ - but I was able to use ft8/cw in the car.
Long opening to IT9/9H nothing on 144.3 on SSB on waterfall again !
I heard:
9H1FL IT9ZEO IT9SMU IT9BDM IT9GUL SV8CS IW7DVM IK7JNM IK7RWE I8IGS 7X2RF
I was heard by:
9H5SN IT9XDJ IW9CTR SV3EXP I8IGS IZ8NVV 7X2RF

And stop compleining about ft8 ! ssb is better for ES B U T - I wasn't able to work any of it on ssb because of unable to use audio... and S/N ratio is not comperable... FT4 or Q65 is also better - maybe we should migrate to Q65 all ! but anyway It is better than nothing!

Also G4LOH iono Q65B QSO at 8:55 shame that not so many potential stations between 1200-1600km for me is active and ready for tests.
I8KPV IONO test failed, nothing decode. Congrats to G,PA,DL and OH stations !

Comment:
All qsos are in FT8.
Worked two DX stations from Algeria (7X2HF and 7X2RF) for the 1st time in AF.
Many stations lost due to qsb.

Comment:
Most were FT8 1/3 were USB, some were too weak to work, i must have heard all of JN37/JN36 in HB9, half of N Germany and, towards the evening, some SP that were not complete. Sometimes over 20 stations per period from DL/F/HB9, also heard G, EI.

New DXCC 7X and a first for SV on 2m as well as some new # :)
Opening lasted for over 8 hours, many thanks to SV1EEX my buddy in ES season :)

Comment:
MUF was high enough early afternoon, but I was too close to reflection point. Later Es cloud moved west and I made these 21 QSOs all in SSB.
CW signals not heard.
Majority of stations on FT8 QRG, I do not use it
Only one or may be two stations heard into QSB and were not workable, sri.
