Ogg: Re: VLF: EbNaut 3 character attempt to VK7

Here is an update on the ongoing experiment between Edgar and me, trying to pass a 3 character EbNaut message over to VK7 on 17.4701 kHz.

Since the 21st September i'm transmitting the same message with identical parameters, one starts at 16:30 UTC, the other one at 19:30 UTC.
After some days it showed that the first time slot does not develop positively (2 days = +3 dB, 4 days = +6 dB....). The second message was more promising. After 3 days stacked it got up to 9.71 dB SNR. Best result so far:
rank 2673527 ber 4.5833e-01 Eb/N0 -5.3 M -6.947182617e+02 ph 77 150,180,150,180
But this is not really a valid decode because you only get it when knowing the message before and searching explicitely for it.
Yesterday i got the 4th file, today the 5th.
Adding the 4th and 5th file to the stack unfortunately lowers the SNR again.

What now?
There is something to try:
These days the sunset happens about 2 minutes per day earlier. I want to try if it helps to start the transmission 2 minutes earlier per day. Of course this must be considered / compensated when building the stack.
So now i'm continuing to transmit the same messages but the start times will be:
26th: 16:28 and 19:28 UTC
27th: 16:26 and 19:26 UTC
28th: 16:24 and 19:24 UTC


and so on...

We have not been to far away from a valid decode, so let's hope this will help.

Comments or ideas?

VLF,

In addition to the message below, which has been transmitted 3 times already, i will start to transmit the same message into a later time slot, also using different parameters:

f = 17470.1000 Hz
