Receiving distant beacon OH2VHF by meteor scatter

Left the radio running last night and into the morning just to see if I could copy a signal from the distant Finnish beacon OH2VHF on 144.443 MHz. Much to my surprise I had success and received this short burst. Although not a complete callsign the letters OH2V are pretty clear. I'll try again tonight and maybe I'll receive the complete call. 


The letters OH2V can been seen

 The dash in the V is broken but "di di di dah" can be heard clearly.


Distance between IO81WM & KP20BB is 1877.73 km
