Yes, there are still some lines that should not have to be where they are ;-) But anyway, it is the best reception i ever had. Now it's time to generate a test signal on the dreamers band ;-) Also tnx for your last mail. You said i can receive VTX India @17 kHz. This is one transmitter that is very weak but visible anyway. The distance to me is 7795km. Very interesting: Type this in Google Earth: "08.387015, 077.752762" and you can see the towers of the transmitter... So, i spend a VTX window on the bottom of my 2nd grabber. VTX appears up to 25dB above noise in 4,5mHz (equal to the DFCW-600 window). Slowly i get fascinated by the whole VLF band ;-) Peter (or others), do you know a USB soundcard, that is able to run at 96000 ksamples/s? There are a lot of USB soundcards that cost not even 5 EUR and do a very good job (currently i am using such one) but most of them have a filter for 48000 it seems... 73, Stefan/DK7FC Am 29.05.2010 08:27, schrieb pws: > Hi Stefan, > > You wrote: > >> ... >> Thus, the strong LF and MF broadcast signals are well attenuated, >> as it seems.
