Hi Jacek, ULF,
That's great! Amazing! 976 km distance in the ULF range!
A decode at 15.63 dB carrier S/N.
Can you describe your RX antenna and location/position of it?
Thank you for your work! I will try to use your parameters and then we
see the digital loss of the vorbis path.
It is a good set of data to 'play' with, because this
distance/frequency/mode has never been done by radio amateurs before.
A first detection/decode DL > SP.
Eventually i'll do more experiments this weekend. Let's hope for a
suitable wx. The last days have not been really quiet ;-)
And BTW, when is your next transmission together with Marcin?
Another thing: Sometimes i git better results when using vtfilter -h
lp... -h hp... instead of vtfilter -h bp... because the edges are a bit
smoother. Also it can improve the SNR to place the center frequency of
the filter not to the TX frequ ency but some 100 Hz up or down,
depending on the noise distribution.
73, Stefan
PS: I remember you asked a few times if i can go lower than 5170 Hz. Now
we are there :-)

Stefan,
I've tried to bruteforce the right filtering and noise blanking
parameters. So after a few thousand tries i get:

Hope you like it :)
7 chracters at 976km on ULF 2970.1Hz :)
Article about it here:

BTW i will keep bruteforcing the rx parameters, maybe i will come up
with a setting that gives even more S/N. This might be useful for your
next tests.
