Hi Paul,
 Most interesting. The QRN has been spectacularly low in the last few 
days, i sometimes think there is a fault on the antenna :-)
Could you continue to write the table below, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th, 
which is completed in a few minutes? It would be interesting to see the 
result for 11+12+13+14.
Also it will be interesting to see if a bad day under say 5 good days 
(low S/N) anyway rise the SNR of the sum. Or is this already known, 
theoretically? Probably yes, but good to confirm it here.
 18.7 dB + 18.7 dB would be 21.7 dB, theoretically. And 15.9 dB + 18.7 dB 
+ a slight phase variation, that is, ehhhm, well at least 20.3 dB it is 
not so far from what we would expect. So it seems to make sense to use 
that technique...
73, Stefan
 PS: Each day, i'm warming up the coil for exactly 1 hour before the 
message starts, so there is an additional carrier which may be useful 
for some experiments. (only the carrier of the 11th has a 90 deg phase 
shift relative to the other carriers)
