On the transmitter side, I have been using a 5 turn 10 x 10 m antenna and an audio amplifier 100W. The system is feeded with a signal from the program "Spectrum Lab". On the receiver side, I have been using a 70 x 70 cm 60 turns loop, tuned with a capacitor. The loop was connected to the microphone input on my laptop and decoded with "Spectrum Lab". The result has been interesting . With this simple arrangement, I have reach a distance of 2.5 km. Yesterday I tried out CMSK8 made by ZL1BPU Murray. I had to make some changes in the ini-file to get the CMSK work om 8.97khz. The sampling rate was adjusted with the program CheckSR and the transmitting frequency was set to 8970Hz. Waterfall has a 2000Hz limit so this was black and useless on 8790Hz. It would makes it easier to track the signal if the developer could extend waterfall to 10 kHz. Iam aware that one can get the view of the waterfall by going down in frequency, but 8.97khz has become a de facto water hole of VLF . The result was exciting. A clean copy of the signal was received at about 2 km. I would also try to test out some of the VLF mode in multipsk , especially PSK10 and PSKAM10, but I have not find a way to fool the program to work on 8.97Khz yet. 73 and good dx the VLF Steinar la5vna ------=_NextPart_000_0042_01CC80FD.93C76020 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.19120"></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-TOP: = 15px"=20 id=3DMailContainerBody leftMargin=3D0 topMargin=3D0 = CanvasTabStop=3D"true"=20 name=3D"Compose message area"> <DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial>This =20 was posted on the Digital mode group = -yahoo- =20 </FONT><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial><A=20 title=3D"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/message/40065 CTR= L + Click to follow link"=20 href=3D"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/message/40065">http://= groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/message/40065</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>For = those who=20 can, the ROS direct drive 8 Khz = sound =20 card based system , with optional = X2 =20 Tx frequency to compensate for class = e/d =20 divide by 2 , is still available</FONT></DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>for = use ,=20 details at :- </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial><A=20 title=3D"https://sites.google.com/site/uk500khz/ros-vlf---exe CTRL + = Click to follow link"=20 href=3D"https://sites.google.com/site/uk500khz/ros-vlf---exe">https://sit= es.google.com/site/uk500khz/ros-vlf---exe</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2=20 face=3DArial>____________________________________________________________= ______________________________________________</FONT></DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=3D"subject root grey">A test of cmsk on 8.97kHz </DIV><BR> <DIV class=3D"msgarea entry-content"><FONT size=3D2 = face=3DArial></FONT><BR>Hi=20 all,<BR><BR>The last few days I've been doing some digi mode testing at = 8.97=20 khz;<BR>"dreamers band", mostly with use of the QRSS mode.<BR><BR>On the = transmitter side, I have been using a 5 turn 10 x 10 m antenna<BR>and an = audio=20 amplifier 100W.
