There was a modest Sporadic-E opening to Portugal and the west of Spain when the FT8 signals were actually well above the noise level. The footprint however seemed pretty narrow and I was unable to hear any beacons or cw/ssb signals on the band.
It opened to Brazil again with ZD7JC from St Helena and 9L1YXJ from Sierra Leone making an appearance as well.
These are the FT8 signals over 2,000kms in order of distance....
