A test of cmsk on 8.97kHz


Hi=20 all,

The last few days I've been doing some digi mode testing at = 8.97=20 khz;
"dreamers band", mostly with use of the QRSS mode.

On the = transmitter side, I have been using a 5 turn 10 x 10 m antenna
and an = audio=20 amplifier 100W. The system is feeded with a signal from the
program = "Spectrum=20 Lab".

On the receiver side, I have been using a 70 x 70 cm 60 = turns=20 loop,
tuned with a capacitor. The loop was connected to the = microphone=20 input
on my laptop and decoded with "Spectrum Lab".

The result = has=20 been interesting . With this simple arrangement, I have
reach a = distance of=20 2.5 km.

Yesterday I tried out CMSK8 made by ZL1BPU Murray. I had = to make=20 some
changes in the ini-file to get the CMSK work om 8.97khz. The=20 sampling
rate was adjusted with the program CheckSR and the=20 transmitting
frequency was set to 8970Hz. Waterfall has a 2000Hz = limit so=20 this was
black and useless on 8790Hz.

It would makes it easier = to=20 track the signal if the developer could
extend waterfall to 10 kHz. = Iam aware=20 that one can get the view of the
waterfall by going down in = frequency, but=20 8.97khz has become a de facto
water hole of VLF .

The result = was=20 exciting. A clean copy of the signal was received at
about 2 = km.

I=20 would also try to test out some of the VLF mode in multipsk = ,
especially=20 PSK10 and PSKAM10, but I have not find a way to fool the
program to = work on=20 8.97Khz yet.

73 and good dx the VLF Steinar=20 la5vna
