Hi Markus,

You and your cat are up late! Unfortunately after a day in the woods with
the new aerial, my energy is low and my propensity for error is high so
it is perphaps best that I code the EbNaut after a good night's sleep.
I'll give it a try with 2 seconds symbols tomorrow.

Thanks again for all.

My receiving method is currently set up for 32 minute FFT chunks and is thus limited to half-hour sequences. So 4 s symbols at 8k19A may turn out too long for any meaningful message. One or two seconds would be fine, and given your signal strength and frequency accuracy, a fine-search for the actual starttime would be quite feasible. Paul is recording continuously and does not have a length limitation.
