Congratulations Ossi and Gerhard!
Nice words and work! :-)

I am looking forward to your next transmissions!

Since a few hours my VLF grabber(s) are running with the new SL settings 
i found by re-processing the recording of my transmission by 4X1RF. 
After a local TX test with a very weak signal it was confirmed in the 
DFCW-6000 window that the new settings provides a slightly better SNR, 
about 2 dB i estimate. Maybe this helps catching your signal(s) in the 
next transmission.


73, GL, Stefan/DK7FC
