Hi Sebastian,
I have had similar experiences over the past few days here in Wales (  UK)  
during the higher daylight passes
which now transpire.
I was really surprised how strong my downlink was and I only use  an "ELK" 
antenna ( with tracking ) software. 
No replies to my calls but I did hear others keying / tuning on to my  
operating frequency.   Strange though
as I also know of reports from others whom had no response.  Perhaps  with 
the rapid changes that have transpired one has to just be lucky  with 
conditions being concident.
Will also keep on trying - Good Luck to all and pleased to see that at  
least the transponder has benn functional.
