136kHz QRSS60 Test

I transmitted my callsign on 136.17125kHz from 2300 on Sat 11th to 0800 on Sun 12th August. The mode was QRSS60 (60 second dot extremely slow Morse code). By monitoring remote 'grabber' receivers, I saw traces of my signal at 4X1RF between 2300 and 0100UTC, and good reception at TF3HZ between 2300 and 0400UTC. The TF path had fading early on but produced very good signals before dawn as the picture shows. The top trace is DF6NM, the big signal in the middle is DK7FC and mine is the lower one.
