Thus noise level on 9 kHz can be expected abt 1.3*SQRT(1/0.063) = 5.2 uV/m
in 1 Hz by this data. Essentually less then Jim mesured. Thus Stefans sigs
with 20 kV on kite ANT should be detectable at 100 km (2.5 uV/m) at least
in qrss90. Another way of calculation yelds the samilar result: Stefan's power
expected abt 1 mW. 1000 times more then your 1 uW. Then distance should be
SQRT(1000)=30 times more. 6km * 30 = 180 km. Certanly at 100 km there
should be some influence of ionosphere. But seems it is not very strong
yet. Besides good fact is that ionosphere should increase sigs not
decrease. It is pity Stefan can not radiate today. But let's look forward.
