Tomorrow, if time permits, I may try to do a full 360 degree coverage map with the current best TX/RX set-up i.e. doing a more thorough walk-about test in all directions around the QTH rather than just in the fields to the south. Also, I may try taking the PC too and doing a screen grab of the signal at the limit of audible reception (or further) in the best direction.

After tomorrow I shall be on 2.5yr old grandson duty for a week taking him to drive toy tractors, going to the park, painting, cooking and playing cars :-)  Grampy will have to resume playing with his toys after he goes home.

Hi Roger, Rik, VLF,

That's what i meant, try it in QRSS/DFCW 600 (or 400). Doing it practically is more fun and gives a secure answer if it works or not. Better for health than reading papers in front of the PC. All in all, the best you can do ;-)
I wish i would have the next receiving station in 3 km! Maybe i should visit the Heidelbergs radio club, maybe there are some interested OMs that can be motivated. In the Darmstadts club i do not really have any hope ;-)

73 es gl!

Horst: Any news about your ground electrodes?

Thanks to all for the explanations.
I'm glad others get confused too!!
