Different results from this location ... band was open starting 0000Z. See following spots. There 
was a 1-1/2 hour 'drought' between 0124 and 0312. Especially interesting was the +6 dB s/n from 
G8HUH at 0050 ... surrounded by -9 dB s/n. Not sure what that is all about.

For years I've noticed two 'openings' to EU on 137 kHz (early and late) ... with the same 'drought' 
lasting 1-1/2 to 2 hours (or more) in between. Not enough data yet to know if the same exists on 500 
kHz.
