The first thing one can say is that you will need a very frequency stable receiver. There is no chance without an external reference signal. For generating wav files using SpecLab you will also have to use a ref signal to compensate the drift of your soundcard. Some people have already prepared things in the past. You can use a 1 PPS signal for soundcard drift compensation or a down divided 10 MHz GPS reference or a stereo soundcard receiving VLF MSK signals on the other channel to compensate the drift. Also the SpecLab configuration depends on your receiver type. Now i could simply make some assumptions what your equipment may be but this may be not a good way. So now i think it's better that we start with one example, one (or more) of the stations who are interested in EbNaut decodes on LF should describe the available system components. Then we can work it out what must be done. We will need to have a stable RX frequency and a drift compensated soundcard frequency in the end. So who of those who are interested wants to start? 73, Stefan --------------090506040606010602030404 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all,
