But now we saw and know the propagation challenge on 2970 Hz / 101 km. On the 309 km band, the ERP is much lower (abt 27 dB) but probably we are far away from these dips shown in the plots provided by Jim.

One day we may need to do that on 970 Hz! I'm working on the next QRO step on that 309 km band! I think i will need +12 dB to get good results at 50 km distance. To reach DL0AO would maybe require another 12 dB, which will not be possible. All in all i may rise the power by 15 dB relative to now. Then stacking of 4 days would help to see something at DL0AO however! Most exciting!
Hmmm, now, when thinking about that: would it maybe work to stack 16 days to see a trace at DL0 AO, now with the 5 kV (3 nW ERP)? That's just about 2 weeks! :-) I got 15 dB in 47 uHz in 27.2 km distance with an E field antenna, also during noisy days.
Markus, what do you think?
Maybe, can i ask for a 424 uHz spectrogram from W and EW? That would give an impression on the diurnal noise and daily variations.
I could set up my modified mains transformer to run 15 mA antenna current at 970.005 Hz for several weeks! Maybe we will see the impossible, beyond our garden fences!
