It is funny to check the beacons tonight. Most remarkable are two constellations, shown below:

While looking for DB0AAT in JN67HU, DB0VC in JO54IF could be received too. When beaming to Kiel, DB0VC can be heard even on 2320 MHz. It is beacon #9 on 13 cm.

DB0NCO beats Frankenstein

From my QTH DB0NCO has the same bearing as DB0FKS. The location of DB0FKS, the  Frankenstein Castle, can be seen visually from here in a distance of 34 km. DB0NCO is 203 km away but tonight it is stronger than DB0FKS, when coming up in QSB.
