Congrats Stefan and DL0AO team,

Very nice results, well done.

73, Jim AA5BW

Subject: VLF: QRSS-240 at 5170 Hz

Here are results from the post-processing of yesterdays transmission at
5.17 kHz. RX sites at DK7FC (tree) in 57.6 km distance and DL0AO in 283 km 
distance. Mixing the two orthogonal loops at DL0AO allowed to steer the 
resulting software rotatable loop into and angle where the SNR became as good 
as it can be for that day and time. Now the message is completely readable in 
283 km distance (4.8 wavelengths). Two versions of the result at DL0AO are 
shown, one from DK7FC.

TX site: 1130m spaced ground electrodes in JN39WI | 1.7 A antenna current at 
370 W TX power (higher losses due to dry soil, thus less power from the given 
antenna voltage at the PA)

73, Stefan
