Stefan,
around 15:00, your sig on 8970.008 was visible
in Nuernberg, peaking ~ 20 dB SNR in 0.48 mHz.
Viel Glück,

VLF,
I'm now running 350W into the system and get about
0.8 A antenna
current. Strong audible partial discharges occurr on a
parallel fixed
plate capacitor, spaced by 3 cola bottles (0.33l ;-) ). At
550 mH i have
25 kV rms on the antenna and coil which seems to be no problem
at all.
The frequency is still a bit unstable since i took the DDS VFO
which is
more comfortable to find the resonance. I will now try to slightly
QRO
and then apply a fiber optic cable carrying the GPS locked frequency
coming from the PC/SpecLab, hopefully without to many phase glitches.
Currently i may have an offset of some 20...30 mHz and a slight drift
but it is a first successfully test :-)
73,
Stefan/DK7FC
