John, SM5DZJ who is the QSL manager for 5R8FU has been
kind enough to email saying the QSO was good.

Whilst I agree that there can be and are major
differences in receiving capability between stations,
and I think that I receive quite well here, I cannot
imagine that they can make the difference between 589
and nothing. (My definition of 589 is a signal
copiable with virtually no background noise - an SNR
of the order of 20dB.) I think this was an extreme
manifestation of the 'foglight' effect!
