While monitoring 50MHz during the morning the MUF suddenly jumps above 144MHz around noon without any sign on 70MHz. I was not much privileged but could work two stns. After 20min the show was already over but good activity on 70MHz afterwards. 2nd opening was even shorter with no more QSOs made. Called CQ but nothing hrd on 144.300 as usual.

I could still hear stations, but no more QSOs were made at that time. MUF went up very quickly in the afternoon as I kept monitoring LIVEMuf, only going out for a very short time and HA1FV alerted me. Now I heard also many stations but only 2 QSOs.
