I've managed to tune to 5.17 kHz and am sending a straight carrier since 11:18 UT. Due to the high coil resistance the antenna current is only 0.18 A (as opposed to 0.4 A on 8.27 kHz, thus 11 dB less
Hello Markus, It looks like you are there!! Even in 424 uHz. Very good, my congrats! You are the second station transmitting on 58 km at all! EbNaut should be no problem there, good luck. 73, Stefan
Thank you Stefan! Yes indeed, I'm glad to see a solid trace on your EW tree-antenna. Having a sensitive grabber within reach is rather motivating. Attached is a pic of the coil preparation, a tempora
Hello Markus, also a clear trace with 30 mHz in the Oberpfalz: S/(S+N) = 5 dB at a signal level of -148,6 dBm. RX Perseus at DL0AO (JN59VK53NK), ANT Beverage 200 m to South America - on VLF certainl
Danke Tom! That's a nice report. Distance between us would now be a bit under a wavelength ;-) As the antenna current dropped further to 0.13 A, I decided to interrupt the transmission and take a loo
My previous message on wrong thread! Coming in nicely here. 11.2dB in 55.5uHz from 14:20 to 19:20. http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/170312a.gif Was the phase continuous across the interruption? -- Paul Nic
Schön ist, was gefällt. Those are 3dB Lego bricks I hope. I couldn't rx anything from 10:20 to 14:00, not a trace. Is this a record distance for 5170 Hz? Probably is for fixed antenna. I think Stefan
