I like "decode" BE: "to be or not to be that is the question"  :-)

Files for reprocessing are here: http://rn3aus.narod.ru/ebnaut20_APR_0123.zip 
Also I have screenshots  21 uHz and 47 uHz 6470.005

Last night i run another message:

f = 6470.100000 Hz
Start time: 19.Apr.2017   19:00:00 UTC
Symbol period: 30 s
Characters: 2
CRC bits: 20
Coding 16K21A
Duration: 6h, 56m
Antenna current: 460 mA

This is a chance for G3ZJO and RN3AUS and SQ5BPF. I generated EbNaut RX files from the tree, the message decoded without a single bit error.

Here are my complete results, just in case it contains any useful information. No decodes at all with with List Length 20000, I assume all falsies with 200000. The signal has been pretty poor in the last carrier transmission so I wasn't too hopeful..

Incidentally I noticed in SpecLab that the clock on Button 3 of my Ebnaut instance was stopped at 10:26  UTC (and probably the waterfall scroll too) yet it is still spewing out files for EbNaut. There must be a clue there somewhere. Win7 dual core processor, Hat 6 7/8, Shoe 9 UK, 44 EU.
