The next transmission (1 char TA attempt) is now running again. The PA and system is back in normal operation.

Tomorrow, i'm transmitting a message in daytime, just for fun. Not every tranmission need to become a new record :-)

f = 8270.1000 Hz

Symbol period: 32 s
Characters: 12
CRC bits: 16
Coding 8K19A
Duration: 07:32:16 [hh:mm:ss]
Antenna current: 700 mA

VLF,

No transmission tonite again. Something is not working with the PA :-/ I replaced a FET that died due to heat. Now the working point seems to cause a thermal drifting towards bad efficiency. The DC offset seems to be to high and there is no thermal feedback diode on the heat sink... I'll investigate...

VLF,

Last night (14th/15Th) my transmission failed. I still don't know the reason but will check it later. I hope to be on air again this night...

29 dB S/N, quite a good result on your side :-)

I got the file from Jay. It looks we will need a long time :-) But tomorrow the tendency may be a bit more clear (even if not clear it will be clear :-) ). Let's hope the stacked file will show better than -10 dB tomorrow...

Good luck to you and Jay, and anyone else who might want to take the challenge.

VLF,

OK, Jay responded to me personally. We will take the challenge.

The first transmission is already running:

f = 8270.1000 Hz
Start time: 12.FEB.2018  22:32:00 UTC (daily)
Symbol period: 32 s
Characters: 1
CRC bits: 24
Coding 16K21A
Duration: 07:06:40 [hh:mm:ss]
Antenna current: 700 mA

Reports welcome :-)

73, Stefan

Jay,

You are the one! The one on the other side of the pond who could manage to get a decode of a message trasnmitted on 8270 Hz, transatlantic east to west. This has not been done so far.

Are you interested and ready? You would need to run your PC for a few days without restarting SpecLab or doing changes in that SpecLab instance. You could provide the txt files so i can have a look and see if the stacked Eb/N0 is building up, confirming that it makes sense to continue to transmit.

I have no idea if this will work with my small signal.

Do we want to try? I would start transmitting this evening already if you say GO!
