Stefan, VLF!

In general, I noticed decreasing conditions on VLF during the past
weeks. This has on one hand to do with increasing noise and longer noise
periods but this alone can not explain the bad propagation.

My last transmission, about two weeks ago was hardly copied by your
grabber, while during winter it was not a problem to make a fat trace
with the same setup. Ossi experienced the same.

I do not plan transmissions on VLF for now, except with the kite antenna
which will more than compensate the bad propagation.

This only reflects my "feeling" without any proof or measurement
results.

So out of this feeling, for me it's no surprise that Uwes signal is that
"weak" now compared to some weeks ago.
