Hi
Stefan,
your message was decoded well from DL0AO cardioid data.
Initially, the best decode appeared with a phase slope, -30 0 0 30.
Entering a frequency offset of one FFT bin (+9.3 uHz), the blue peak
seems to be shifted slightly to the left as expected, but the same best
decode was achieved with flat phase.
This seems to confirm your earlier observation of a one bin offset.
This is strange, as I've never observed such an offset in earlier
experiments based on shorter data with wider FFT resolution (31 uHz or
more), and I am lacking an explanation. I don't think we can blame
propagation because if there was any Doppler around sunset
this should be negative rather than positive.
Best 73,

Hi VLF,
For some local tests i like to transmit the 2 character message that i
already sent on 970 Hz 3 weeks ago. This time on 6470 Hz....
Such a short message with sch long symbols may be interesting for
newcomers or various tests by the established VLF receivers...
f = 6470.100000 Hz
