That seems to be the best what we both got so far. Propagation must be excellent. 35 dB S/N in 28 mHz, that must be close to audible, right? Did you try to listen during watching that spectrogram? :-) It could be worth to run a CW beacon over night... In one of the coming nights i want to do a WOLF (10) VLF test again. Now i successfully built a class D PA with the LOPT. The exact carrier comes from a SpecLab instance, 17940 Hz / 2, i.e. i get a exact 50% duty cycle which is essential to drive /this/ class D PA, 2x IRFZ48N, running at 12V DC supply voltage. The 17940 Hz is feed through a fiber optic link. The PSK comes from a separate fiber optic cable and is generated by playing a wav file in Winamp, which drives the TX LED from the soundcard. So now i can generate the carrier on the VLF grabber PC and the PSK on the LF grabber PC ;-) I expect a new "DX" this weekend... 73, Stefan/DK7FC Am 10.02.2012 12:20, schrieb jrusgrove@comcast.net: > Stefan & group > > Check out capture at http://www.w1vd.com/grabber.html grabber 1 ... at > times 35 dB s/n noise last night!

Check out capture at http://www.w1vd.com/grabber.html grabber 1 ... at times 35 dB s/n noise last night! 'Dogbones' are evident as well as some 'spreading' of the signal into nearby bins. This is usually only seen on strong domestic signals.
