Paul,

Does this meet the criterion that you were thinking of in your comments March 21st and March 22nd?

73,

Jim AA5BW

After coherently stacking 13:00 to 00:00 for 9 days in a bandwidth of 25.25 uHz I get a clear signal at significance of around 5 sigma:

  http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/170326a.png

The peak has S/N 14.0 dB in 25.25uHz, which is -66 dB in
2.5kHz bandwidth.   Signal azimuth is east with the expected
phase angle between E and H antennas.

The days used were 11th to 16th plus 18th to 20th.  Attempting to include the 17th, or 21st to 23rd reduced the S/N.
Leaving out any of the nine stacks days also reduces the S/N.

The amplitude of each daily contribution is normalised by the average power in a 20Hz bandwidth around the signal frequency.

No other bandwidth or daily time range produces a stronger
peak.   14:00 to 19:00 in 55.5 uHz gives about 12dB S/N.

So far, no attempt has been made to compensate for night time phase delay.

Distance is 881.2 km, approximately 8.7 wavelengths.
