Dear Markus, Walter, LF Group,

Congratulations on the QSO - it is impressive to see that usable SNRs can be 
achieved in the far-field at 9kHz with quite small antennas and limited TX 
power. A long term objective at M0BMU for 9kHz is to do some field strength 
measurements using TX antennas on a similar scale. The main practical 
difficulty would seem to be the long time needed to integrate the signal at 
the receiver in order to obtain an adequate SNR for useful measurements (and 
to travel far enough to be out of the near field!) - I would be interested 
to know what SNR you would expect under "quiet" conditions using the same TX 
and RX parameters.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
73 de M0BMU

Dear LF,

this morning, June 4th between 6 and 8 UT, Walter (DJ2LF) and myself (DF6NM) 
were able to successfully conduct a two-way contact (aka "QSO") on 8.97 kHz.
