It did however open to South-East Asia with Thailand and Indonesia being heard. Others include RA9DZ from the other side of the Ural Mountains in Russia, UN8GEQ in Kazakhstan with plenty more double hop Sporadic-E signals as well.
These are the stations heard on FT8 on 28 MHz on Monday the 13th of May 2019...
Notes...
1) No DX south... No sign of any opening from here to Africa or to South America although I did notice that a lot of stations in Poland were working Brazil.
2) Europe... The map below shows Europe in more detail. It was pretty poor to the south while the main opening was to the east.
3) Double Hop... The yellow line shows my single hop Sporadic-E limit. Notice the big cluster of double hop signals from Eastern Ukraine and South Russia.
4) Not Sunday... All days are not the same! While the signals did not seem as strong on Sunday, there were also probably fewer stations on air as it was a Monday.
Beacons... These are the beacons heard today...

Five of the seven German beacons were heard. 5B4CY/B in Cyrpus was double hop and a first for 2019.
Overall as reasonable day with lots of activity albeit with weaker signals. The band seemed to be open continuously from about 08:30 UTC to 21:00 UTC.
A total of 951 reception reports from 821 stations in 46 countries were uploaded to the PSK Reporter website.
