HI Peter,

I changed the TX QRG to 8912=2E5Hz running SpecLa= b in Op-4H (ASK0) mode and made a first test with positive result=2E

the RX was located in 3km distance - Opera v=2E1=2E5=2E0 , RX = aerial a 10m wire connected to the soundcard=2E   

TX output pwr about 1W=2E  pse see:

http://dj8wx-dl=2E= de/opera3=2Ejpg

I think we should have a try as you are my neares= t station rxing VLF=2E

Now Im increasing the PA output pwr to 500Wrms=2E=

Hello Uwe, Markus, VLF
 
Nothing was seen or detected= here from your transmission in OPERA mode either=2E
No recognizable trace a= t all=2E
While you're continuous= unmodulated signal almost overloads my soundcard input=2E

yes Markus, I have had the screen showing the SecLab components in my focus whilst doing  other jobs - for hours=2E

Now the carrier only mode is on the air=2E=

Until next test

Uwe,

sorry, nothin= g was seen or detected here from your transmission today=2E Not a trace=2E Der erste Versuch is= t meist nicht genuch (Didi Drahtlos)=2E

Yes I noticed= the good trace on Paul Nicholson's spectrogram http://abelian=2Eorg/vlf= /fbins=2Eshtml#p=3D1388246400&b=3D080&s=3Dsp=2E Just look a= t it the other way round: You did send a long carrier, only with some short interruptions=2E But the gaps were so short that the spectrum didn= 't notice them ;-) 
 =
More seriousl= y: Compared to= a continuous carrier, with 50% duty cycle the carrier component is still there but 6 db down (half average voltage)=2E In ter= ms of power, on average you are spending 50% of the power=2E 25% (-= 6 dB) goes to the central carrier, and the other 25% into the AM sideban= ds carrying the message=2E    
 =
What I find strange is that the spectrogram trace seems to have jumped 28 mHz low, once near the beginning and again for= an hour around 14:30=2E Are you sure that your samplerate correction had been engaged without interruption?

Hi Markus, Wolf, Stefan, Peter es all,

tks for the advice, Markus

now SpecLab is beaconing in mode Op-4H on 8969=2E99Hz

the PA is off until it is dry outside=2E

I keep your proposal  txing btwn 0700 and 1400MEZ in mind= , Markus=2E
