Hi Joe, LF

Your EbNaut got one error free decode last night here in JN80nu using
nominal values for time and frequency offsets:

There was a mains outage at the receiving site on Feb 14, so i have missed
unfortunatly LF transmissions of 14 and 15 february. Sorry.

Thank you for the signal Joe. Propagation peak for our path seems to be
around 01.00 UTC.
Maybe be you can be ready for receiving so we can attempt an exchange of
calls/report before the season ends ?

Vy 73 to all, Domenico IZ7SLZ

Thank you. A 100 character message is running since 12 UTC. It will take <b=

almost 4 days to pass it over. The longest message (in hours, not in <br>

&gt; EbNaut LF TX: The signal is taken from the time pulse output of the <b=

&gt; which has a LED and dropping resistor across it. Paul has written<br>
