Success!

Decoded 'QRZ' at Cumiana (IK1QFK) with
Eb/N0 = +0.4 dB, BER 41.6%;

S/N -31.7 dB in 1Hz, -65.7 dB in 2.5kHz
(after sferic blanking);

List rank 5689, constant reference phase;

Distance is 7173.4 km which is a new world record for VLF message decode and a record distance for EbNaut at all bands.

Predicted Eb/N0 was +0.6 dB.

Decoded via the live VLF stream from Renato's E-field receiver.

These two stations already hold the record distance for carrier detection at VLF.  This result extends that to a message decode.

Signal data available in vlfrx-tools format:

  http://78.46.38.217/w4dex-171226-vlf15.vt

Decode with

  vtraw -oa w4dex-171226-vlf15.vt |
    ebnaut -dp16K21A -r1 -S30 -k20 -N3 -v -PU -L500000

Congratulations to both stations for a great result.
