Markus, Nice signal! A question perhaps for Paul or yourself follows: At ~0.22 fT (estimated from Paul’s spectrogram) I expected to see >> 10dB SNR in 278uHz. 10dB SNR is off scale so I looked
Another plot from the same pipeline, all same settings but with the sferic blanker removed http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/160419b.gif DF6NM is lost in the noise without sferic blanking. Average noise per
Hi Jim, the transmit antenna is physically larger: The apex of the topload is at 21 m above ground or 12 m above our rooftop. But the wires are sloping downward at steep angles, and the antenna is pa
I should mention that for sferic blanking to be this effective it is essential to band limit the VLF before the blanker. A broadly optimum bandwidth is 3kHz centered on the signal frequency. Too wide
Paul, Thanks for the excellent and definitive insights. I will enjoy running the trials that you suggested (30-minute Speclab trial running now with 3kHz bandpass, hum filter, blanker, and test signa
