I just returned back home from a trip and yes the signals are still there as of 10 minutes back. They can be heard on my websdr https://websdr.vu2tum.com/

These signals are being heard in VU as well. I have been seeing chatter on Whatsapp groups about these to the extent that 40m nets have shifted up. It will be interesting to geolocate the source of these signals based on a regional triangulation. Some folks are saying these are of China origin, others say they are from Israel or Iran.

Of course, what they decode into is yet another mystery at the moment.

Achieved my DXCC 100 on CW (europe.pub)
 

Hello, I saw this community has zero posts and I thought, this should be a good start. Sharing with fellow CW lovers out there.

I started my HF journey last year in August. My first (failed) attempt at CW QSO in Nov 23. Then, I gave up. Restarted CW in March this year. Around that time, I gave up FT8 and also SSB. Still work SSB but not FT*. So, yeah, I am proud of myself to have achieved this. Some folks said, oh big deal, one can achieve this over a contest weekend. Maybe they can - for me it was significant work. Next goal SKCC 100. :-) 73 de VU2TUM
