Wow.
I did not expect much last night, with the high K index (4 much of the time), but perhaps this was a case of the active geomagnetic field "stirring the gumbo" as MW DXers sometimes call it.
On top of 113 decodes from Madeira, I got solid decodes from Cabo Carvoeiro Lt, Portugal (which I have received once or twice before) and Point Lynas Lt, Wales, a new one for me. Also the Azores, and maybe Germany, and maybe maybe Egypt??
The decodes from Madeira (too lengthly to list each of them) occurred in a few blocks:
0020-0036z - most were in this block
0058-0059z
0209-0219z
0246-0249z

As you can see, the decodes for each station occurred in one opening. But the openings one after the other.
The decodes from the Azores:

Friday, December 9, 2016 04:23:07
Only three, but again, all closely spaced. So I think they were real vs false decodes. Also, the Azores is on 308 kHz - and I do not have any other logs from 308 kHz.
So what about Germany?

Friday, December 9, 2016 05:23:44
Only two decodes. Not super closely spaced. But they use 303.5 kHz, an offset channel, so there's no domestic stations there.
Even more speculative is Egypt:

Thursday, December 8, 2016 23:37:21
Just two decodes, and again not right after each other. But fairly close together time wise. And considering how the evening overall produced some amazing catches, they are certainly plausible. Not enough to confirm reception, perhaps, but enough to make you go hmmm...
