First monitoring FT8/174 , only PA/ON copied working ES-DX...suddenly YO/YU/LZ -stations with -16dB-reports.....building quickly.After the first YO-report with +7dB i switched to 307 SSB CQ , 5 SSB-QSO in 4min. Signals wide over S9....but opening was very short.Back on 174 many Italian Stations with a very short QRB were copied , Range not more than 900km... Tnx for the nice contacts...have a beautiful Sunday! 73´s Peter
