Hi Paul,
Thanks! The message is correct. Our longest message so far on 6470 Hz
:-)
The WX forecast is no ideal for the next days: Rain! My transductor
variometer is still not automatised and its tuning range is a bit
small. So probably it is not possible to hold the antenna current
during rain. I also saw that the losses are higher when it's wet, makes
a difference of about 10%, i.e. -0.9 dB.
With a stable antenna current of 250...260 mA and low QRN it could be
possible to make the 20 character message with 100s symbols, into a
day-night-day period. However this will be hard in the coming days.
So i better prepare for 200s now:
f = 6470.00000 Hz
Start time: 22.05.2016 04:00:02 UTC
Symbol length: 200 s
Characters: 20
CRC 16
Coding 8K19A
Duration: 2d, 20h, 26m, 40s
Antenna current: 200...260 mA (Rain!)

Copied 'THAT WORKS'
Eb/N0 = +2.7 dB, constant reference phase
Carrier: 19.25 dB in 13.3 uHz
