Hi Markus,
My aerial current is 170mA so 3.5 uW on 8.3 kHz!
Nice Eb/No values, Markus. Getting ready to start EbNaut again, hopefully
with the timing offset reduced. Intended start time 2000 UTC.
CHU weak on 7850 kHz -- hopefully reflex time is good.

1579 ohms * (10 m / 36145 m) = 121 microohms

Joe, if you wanted you could almost copy Stefan's VLF coil described on his
website, using thin enameled wire on a large water barrel.
Assuming your antenna can withstand 28 kV rms, you could run 0.8 A which would
instantly put you into the TA playground with Paul.

PS. 20 dB more will get you 10 times as far (at least in free space ;-)
