Looks good but I didn't get a decode, just 'NK!' at Eb/N0 = -0.2 dB. I swept a range of frequencies either side of +93 uHz in 5 uHz steps but nothing better came out. It was a noisy night again! Goo
There was icing overnight and the current was very low this morning. The ice has melted, the current is back to nearly 0.3A and EbNaut transmission will be repeated tonight 2300 ut. NTP is running. T
TX completed and the current is normal. I am happy to try again tonight, same settings, 2300ut. 73 & TNX Joe Once again, no decode overnight 14th/15th. The noise was a bit lower, was the transmission
Joe and Paul, I can collect data on Joe's signal from some other receivers this week. Nominal operating sensitivity is 10 fT/rt-Hz or better; generally southwest (SSW, SW, WSW) at 2000 -3000 km Would
The noise was low last night, almost as quiet as 7th/8th but still the message doesn't decode. It should be an easy decode at +1dB or so, especially with the improvements you've made. The strongest '
Hello Jim, I will keep the TX on until further notice. Good luck with reception. 73 Joe Joe and Paul, I can collect data on Joe's signal from some other receivers this week. Nominal operating sensiti
I hope the improvements were not to reduce the erp... OK let's try a carrier tonight. NTP and the raspi clock are working well. A new helix will be wound when the wire arrives and I'm building up the
A poor signal overnight 16th/17th. For a while it came up to 0.05 fT but the average was about 0.035 fT, poor S/N. Daytime 17th was weak too, only averaging 0.025 fT but S/N was fairly good. Last nig
Thank-you Paul. Will try EbNaut 2300 tonight, same settings. Hoping for good conditions! Jor I think we should switch back to carrier so that I can take some more measurements. I will keep the TX on
Correction, starting 0100 this morning. Operator error. Thank-you Paul. Will try EbNaut 2300 tonight, same settings. Hoping for good conditions! Jor I think we should switch back to carrier so that I
And another noisy night too. No surprise no decode. Let's try again. 3 chars will certainly get through given a quiet night like 17th/18th. We just have to be patient and keep trying until the condi
Yes, let's keep trying. All set for tonight Paul. Correction, starting 0100 this morning. Operator error. And another noisy night too. No surprise no decode. Let's try again. 3 chars will certainly g
After much wire and effort, the erp is up by 2.5 dB. EbNaut again tonight starting 2300 utc. 73 Joe VO1NA Yes, let's keep trying. All set for tonight Paul. Correction, starting 0100 this morning. Ope
Last night we had snow and the antenna became detuned with a large drop in the erp. This likely affected last night's EbNaut transmission. The snow has melted, the erp has rebounded. The carrier will
The last few nights have been noisy, no real chance of decoding a message but it should decode with a quiet night, even if we lose the last hour because of the terminator. Today your signal was clea
...maybe it is worth to try the daytime period, because it is much longer these days. Also the QRN may be much lower too... 73, Stefan Am 22.05.2017 20:43, schrieb Paul Nicholson: The last few nights
Overnight 22nd/23rd was fairly quiet and the decoder turned up 'VO!' at Eb/N0 = +0.5dB, BER 42.7% with constant reference phase, peaking at frequency of 8270.0070925 Hz + 6 uHz. Rank 7430 in the deco
