Sporadic E with reflection point over KN16.
Contacts between IT9/I8 and UA3; I2 to UB5, UA6; 9A to UA6; DL/HB9 to UR, UA6, YO, LZ and TA; SM to LZ; SP to LZ. A fine opening with good activity on a Monday evening.
Nice opening with 2 new squares for me. Thanks to the Russian stations for spreading on the band.
Please note: my locator is "JN48mb" not JN47nx (old locator)

Comment:
10 min. before the opening YM7VHF [144.450] was 529-579 and a local TA chat on 145.500 in FM faded and disappeared..
Guess I was at the very western edge of the opening.

Comment:
Very good opening and good qrb.One new sq KN98. Still waiting for LO / LN grids.
I hrd some UA on 145300 FM, but was impossible to break in.
I lose some qso at begin for phone call.........
very short, and the signals were very strong only for a few seconds, then nothing.
I was just coming out the bath after a shower and saw a spot on clx.
I climbed my staircase as fast as I can and ound the band crowded of huge sigs.
Heard also a station from LN06TB but no call, who ??
Tnx and qsl 100%

[So what do we learn on this? First take a shower and after this immediately check your radio - and you'll catch some rare DX! Ed. DK5YA :-)]
Very short opening, just about 30s long. MUF got over 190 MHz into East TA, I had been calling CQ for 1 hour on 145.500 MHz with 500W out, however not even small beep heard..
