Wow! That generated quite a few reports.

Thanks to the multitude of stations for the suscessful 'spots' forwarded to the WSPR database. The 
list includes: GM4SLV, G3XVL, OR7T, K3SIW, G4JNT, AA1A, G3YPE, G4WGT, AA5AM, G7AQA, DL4YHF, W3NF, 
NW5R, F4DTL, M0LMH, K9FH and VE7BDQ.

Also thanks to W1TAG, VE3EAR, M0BMU  and VA7JX for their reports and anyone else that took the time 
to look. Hope I didn't forgot anyone.

The earliest reception was by GM4SLV at 44 minutes before local sunset here. With clear skies the 
sun was still shining bright at the time. Unfortunately, the transmitter was shut down prematurely 
at 0757Z so there wasn't a chance to check propagation past sunrise in most of EU - especially at 
GM4SLV's location with a sunrise at about 0830Z.

In order to further 'probe' the T/A sunset / sunrise propagation extremes, WE2XGR/2 will transmit 
during two periods tonight. The first period will be 2030 - 2330Z and then again at 0630 - 0930Z. 
Reports, especially 'first in' and 'last out' would be appreciated. If anyone would like the times 
periods extended please let me know.

Thanks again to everyone participating in the tests.
