I already announced it at the German air traffic control and just got a phone call were the permission was granted. The plan is to come on air at about 6 UTC. The antenna will be the 300m vertical kite antenna. I'll plan to serve the bands 33km and 46km, i.e. 8970 Hz and 6470 Hz. Since i made a new tap on the TX coil i can now resonate the 300m antenna on 6470 Hz too. This should give a about 4 dB stronger signal on 46km. Since the gap of low QRN is much smaller now, the experiment will not take many hours, maybe just 4 or 5. Maybe i can get the 4 kVA generator and will produce a 6 dB stronger signal but this is not clear so far. Otherwise i am limited to 550 W TX power. I will limit my antenna current to 2 A in order to prevent a HV breakdown on the coil and due to thermal losses. At 2 A antenna current i should have up to 250 mW ERP! The program is to start a longer dash, about 40 minutes, GPS locked on 8970.00000 Hz, then a message in DFCW-600. Depending on the feedback of receiving stations i will try to send DFCW-60 or DFCW-10 or DFCW-3 and CW. Then i'll move to 6470 Hz, transmitting a 40 minutes dash and a "K" in DFCW-600 or so. As usual the signals will be visible on my grabber in 40 km distance: http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_VLF_Grabber.html for 8970 Hz and http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_VLF_Grabber2.html for 6470 Hz (spectrogram still not available) but surely visible on many other grabbers too ( see https://sites.google.com/site/sub9khz/vlf-grabbers for a list of available Dreamer Band grabbers).

Two of them are: http://qsl.net/4x1rf/yo/vlfgrabber.htm (1435 km) http://www.ok2bvg.cz/vlfgrabber/ (598 km) Leaving a trace on these and all other new and old VLF stations is the goal! Despite high QRN and the longest days in the year (here in EU) i am optimistic. Maybe Markus/DF6NM or Marco/DD7PC or someone else in DL wants to be available on the phone for QSP to the reflector?

Dear=20 VLF group,

Since more than 4 months the wind and rain=20 situation looks promising for the weekend on my /p QTH in = JN49IS36VH.

Since the gap of low QRN is much = smaller=20 now, the experiment will not take many hours, maybe just 4 or 5.=20
