I experienced a similar opening into Europe last night as well! I couldn't hear all of them but they heard me apparently!

I headed to the shack with the 65th birthday beverages, cran grape juice, and the hard stuff, Coca Cola on ice. The shack dog, PD (puppy dog) who hates ft8 followed. I was able to decode 24 stations in Europe on the pennant. The times when I left the receiver on the inverted L Europe could not be heard due to the high noise.

I could see received stations pick up in quantity and signal. The east coast stated calling 7Q6UJ. I never heard him, and pskreporter showed him only heard on the east coast. Just as quickly as it happened, it was over.
